[Volunteers_fosm] FOSM Fall Brushing #2, Crest Road Adopt-A-Hwy Mile 4-5

[Michael Madden]

Today 6 FOSM volunteers continued brushing where we left off a week ago, on
our semi-annual Crest Road Adopt-A-Highway clean-up. Yesterday Sam Beard
had prepared 6 small chainsaws at the Guard Station for today's task of
finishing the remaining quarter mile of densely overgrown brush along the
guardrail between milepost 4 and 5. Sam Beard, Don Carnicom, Cliff Giles,
Tim Kirkpatrick, Jamey Browning, and Mike Madden met at our AAH pullout at
10am. I estimated it would take two hours, finishing by noon. 4 certified
sawyers handled pole saw & chainsaws, since the trees were up to 5" in
diameter! Our goal was to clear about 6 feet *beyond* the guardrail. Don
used a brush cutter. Cliff used loppers. We finished the job at 11:55am, 5
minutes early! A beautiful day on the mountain... sunny, warm, no wind.
Check-out our mile 4-5 handiwork the next time you're heading up there.
