Friday morning, this is our last work trip for 2022 and it's going to be a great day

Getting ready to leave the woods parking lot

At the worksite and ready to go

These steps need more crush

Erik has a plan to finish the steps.

Marty has been making more crush

And he is still smiling

Beauty is every where

The crush pile is almost empty

And these steps are almost finished

Dan and Russ working on the last step

Now the steps are complete

Marty working the belay

Erik on the rope puller

Russ helps this step move down the hill

Now Russ, Erik & Sandy roll the next one

Another big step on the move

I think we found the last step we need

Russ and Erik prepare the base

We'll just leave it here until tomorrow

Time to pack up and head to the parking lot

On the northern section, Dr. Dave gets ready to climb some trees

Just looking at the trees is a thing of beauty

Down from the trees, Dr. Dave packs up his gear

Dr. Dave, Chris and Jeff carry out the highline gear etc.

Ok, the cart is loaded, lets move

Back at the woods lot the trucks get loaded

After a really great day, our Friday crew meeting

Sunday morning, our final work trip in 2022

A great group of volunteers out today

Last time leaving the woods parking lot this year

Now crossing Surebridge Brook on the A.T.

Dr. Dave and Dan work on the top step

Dr. Dave wants to split this piece off and use it as a step

Once loose, Peter drags it downhill

Dan makes sure the hole is big enough for the step

Peter pushes it into the hole

Russ does the finish work

Marci and Linda define the path to the stream

These steps are now complete

It's time to go so lets get going

Our last trip out for the year

We will meet the Parks Dept gator up ahead

The gator will transport the heavy tools to the woods lot

All the tools are out of the woods for the winter

Ladders and packs go into Erik's truck

Last look of the woods lot for 2022

Final crew meeting for 2022. and a big Thank You to all the volunteers who joined in this year
