Ranger Bruce, the trail boss, stands in front of the truck full of trail tools and watches the demo of how to use a pick-axe.

This is how not to use a pick-axe (don't raise above the shoulder level unless you want the head to slide down the shaft and whack your hand!)

We were building a brand new trail and this is how it looked behind us, after we'd gone by.
|
|
|
 |
The trail ahead improves a little as each person passes by
|
|
 |
The trail is just rubble at this stage
|
|
 |
North Ranchers turn and wave, and a couple of other get caught up in the spirit

Susan takes a little break. The tool she's using is called a "McLeod"

Near the front end of the work crew the trail isn't as well developed.

Having lunch afterwards. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of Joe Dilman calling raffle ticket numbers with a bullhorn.

|
 |
This is the end of the trail we worked on.
|
|
 |
Very soon, after just a few yards more, the trail becomes somewhat indistinct.
