More Chainsawin'

Yesterday Liz and Noel got chainsaw certified! YAY! Now the whole team is ready to kill trees! This week, after a long weekend of snow and no water at the bunkhouses we were moved into an abbey in Canon city. It was nice, hot showers, cell phone service, meals provided at the cafeteria. The commute to Black Mountain was the same length as it is from the bunkhouse too. One day we spent at the forest service office, cleaning chainsaws, learning to use the grinder, and learning to make chains. We also watched some training videos and learned about the local forest service and the BLM. Now we've got another three days to finish sawing the stretch of land we;ve been clearing, then, back to Lake George before Spring Break!
