I just got back from Crosscut training and it was a great class taught by David Michael.
After discussing all the troubles with the chain saw certification I found it comical when David told us he was a C-C class and was a teacher at the chain saw school but after moving and needing to get re-certified he was given an A rating which he then just handed the card back to the instructor because it was no good for him because you cannot operate a chain saw solo with an A rating.
I've been trying to get on a crew with the High Sierra Volunteer Group but none of the dates so far I am sure will work out, the Kennedy Meadows bridge project is at the same time the PCTA is hosting a week long project out of Kennedy Meadows and I am signed up for that one.
There is a project at Jordan Hot Springs scheduled for around the end of May or the first week of June that is not on the PCTA list, I don't have all the details on that but you can contact Bill Carter at drfwcarter@yahoo.com for the details.
Another project that has now been posted is about a month of work out of Purple Lake near Mammoth, i'm sure most of you know how beautiful an area that is and would be great to work in!, the dates are 21 - 30 Jul 4 - 13 Aug 18 - 27 Aug.
I'm going to be out hiking during all of that project but since I will actually be going through there at that time I may stop in and work for a few days and resume hiking on the trail.
