| Comments: |
We performed trail maintenance and hiked up to the summit of Mount Osceola. We've removed all blowdowns blocking the Mount Osceola trail to provide safe passage! Using Corona Saws, Bow Saws and axes, we chopped and sawed through all of them! We also cleaned 30 waterbars using fire rakes. We'll be posting a full trip report with pictures on our website shortly.
