Following is what our 4 person team accomplished and a photo (by Carl Smith) of the "train wreck at the bottom of Bill Spring, just a short distance from the upper picnic area at Doc Long:

Sam and Carl, each using a chainsaw, removed 4 ft chunks from 2- 20" DWF lying across the trail.  Bet and I swamped and cleared the tangle of limbs from both trees.  The project took approximately 1 hour and the trail is now clear for easy passage.  Bob Lowder and his crew went above and cleared the rest of Bill Spring and a section of Faulty as already reported by Bob.

Our crew then returned to our vehicles at  Doc Long and made a "giant leap frog" to Oso Corredor.  We parked at the locked gate and took the short cut to the Faulty/Oso trail junction.

250 ft. from the junction, Carl removed the 8" DWF and Sam removed the 10" DWF previously reported by Pauline and Rick. In the immediate vicinity there was a 9" DWF hangup (unreported) over the trail.  We decided it was a "danger" hangup and  removed it by felling the 10" tree that was holding it.  Also removed a 5" DWF leaning over the trail.  A total of 5 trees removed at this location.

600 ft further up the trail, Sam removed a 4ft. chunk off the 11" DWF previously reported across the trail. In the meantime, Bob Lowder's crew came up from Bill Spring/Faulty and leap frogged ahead of us to work on the large "mess" previously reported.

Our last work was removing large protruding branches from a tree that had fallen parallel to the trail.  From there our crew turned around and hiked back through the short cut to our vehicles. Our small crew removed a total of 8 trees.

As already reported by Pauline and Rick there are many down trees left to clear on upper 2 miles of Oso Corredor to the junction with Tree Spring..
