Food & Exercise -- 4/6/2007

Fun day today -- spent about 4 hours at the conservancy doing trail
making. I hadn't done that before, so it was interesting. We're
making a new trail to allow hikers to circumvent an older one that is
being somewhat overtaken by a spring. We had a team of 9 people (all
men except for me :-) ), led by a man who's an expert in this. We
spent began with clearing the basic path, which had already been
marked off with flags -- lopping off overhanging tree limbs and
picking up debris. Most of the time was spent after this using tools
called Polaskis (a sort of hoe/axe combination) to hack into earth
(full of roots and shale) to make a flat path. We did this to about
80 yards of the trail (which is about 1/10 of the total distance -- so
there's lots more to do). It was pretty hard work but satisfying.
Afterward I hung out at the winery for a while chatting with visitors.
(Fortunately, my cold seems to be almost gone today.)
