“Two Bar Betty” Wheeler’s report about our summer’s work in the Goat Rocks appears in the winter issue of the PCT Communicator magazine. We didn’t have space to include these pictures in the magazine, but they’re too glorious not to share.
This is rock bar country. The project below Old Snowy was one of the many major projects on the trail this year and it might have been the rockiest.
The visible tread in this photo represents the first two days of tread reconstruction. After weeks of work in the area, the trail is strong and fully rebuilt.
Project leaders Melissa (USFS) and Bill (PCTA) are at the junction of the PCT and the alternate over Old Snowy. They were described as knowledgeable and patient teachers by the volunteers on the project.
The crew heading back to camp on the new section of PCT tread that they built.
A duct tape covered temporary latrine provided a spectacular view for the few weeks that we were camped at the site.
