Sensational Saturday

Last week Dana and I went up bouldering with some our friends Nathan and Shar Bingham. We decided to find a place I had never been called the patriot crack. On our hike to the climbing area we ran into quite a bit of brush and scrub oak that managed to leave big scrapes on my legs and arms, and made moving around with crash pads on our backs very difficult. I told Dana I would love to go up and clean those trails up. Dana took it to heart and during the week while I was working a late shift, she went out shopping, she got all the tools we needed to go and make a proper trail. The plan was to go camping Friday night wake up Saturday and maintain the trails. However due to the typical memorial day weekend rainstorm we did not get to go camping. So we stayed home last night and decided to work on the boulder fields anyways. We worked right around 5 hours, and barely scratched the surface of what we would like to get done up there. However I am just so happy to be married to a gal who will get up there and work like that with me just to make it easier for us and others to have access to those rocks. Below are some pictures of how it turned out.

Foot Note: Just thought I would mention that I have spent more time trying to get this stinking thing to post than we did today clearing those trails
