below. A few of the trees exceed 3 feet in diameter and require special equipment and training to cut and remove a half ton piece off the trail without allowing it to roll down the hill into Hwy 50 traffic.
One such log appeared last spring on the XP Trail, just East of Pollock Pines …. closing 1 mile of the trail. Using new equipment purchased by two NWSA grants, MLU bought a 32-inch chain saw and some rigging equipment (cables, winches, pulleys, etc.) and conducted training on 1 November. The 40-foot long log was successfully cut where it blocked the trail with its 4-foot diameter trunk.
Congratulations Mother Lode Unit for an outstanding project an example of cooperation!
