3 hours and 28 more blocks moved to the site :-)

Holy cow Jeff! You single handedly knocked out about a third of the block hauling. When I walked up the trail this morning it was treacherously slippery. I can't imagine what it was like trying to carry 28 60lb blocks up that hill. Thanks for the hard work!

We made substantial progress given non-ideal weather Saturday, but there is still a lot of work left. The rain will help us in the long run because we can now compact the soil properly as we fill behind the retaining wall. Before, it was like trying to compact flour and flour don't make good trail.

There are a few more images from Saturday in this gallery.

I'm planning on heading out Wed. (10/17) at 4:30 for 2 hours to continue work on this project and will try to get something scheduled next weekend as well.
