Gah! No Time!

So I'm in Alpine right now, but there's never any time when we're here. Too much to do! I'll do a more detailed post when I can (which might not be until after the project is over), but we just got back yesterday from our first real work week. We hiked up to Emory Peak, the highest peak in the park and camped near Boot Cabin, where the trail crew stays when they go up there. Then we had seven straight days of work on the trail leading to Emory Peak. Some of it was working on the new trail they're building, some of it was making the old trail that's closing disappear. It was pretty awesome. Highlights include the Pionjar (there's an umlaut over the A, and it's pronounced POON-jar), which kind of like a jackhammer. Or maybe it IS a jackhammer. I just realized that I don't actually know what a jackhammer is. The Pionjar is used to break up rocks. It's pretty heavy and awkward but really fun.

I think that's all I have time for right now. It's so hard to get internet around here!
