We sure appreciate the work that the CCC trail crew was doing in Jack Main Canyon this summer. It was hard, dirty work, but the results were works of sound engineering. We made sure to thank them as we passed them on the trail.

A sample of that kind of work is in the photo at right.

But ya gotta wonder about their bear prevention techniques in camp. Really? A cooler and a couple of plastic garbage bags out by the trail? Somehow, that doesn’t seem quite right…

And the trail work here was sensational. ©http://backpackthesierra.com
