Beyond that handle is a ragged series of rocks, in the trail. Hikers have to go up that small slope to continue. That rough ascent will be cleaned out and replaced with rock steps.<br \/>\nIn the photo below \u2013  the center (just right of the white bucket) is where the rock was. The hole has been filled and the trail widened and a rock base is taking shape.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/SL-2-Trail-repair-wider-with-rock.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"652\" height=\"582\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9401\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/SL-2-Trail-repair-wider-with-rock.jpg 652w, http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/SL-2-Trail-repair-wider-with-rock-300x268.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/> Sorry, I don&#8217;t have a final photo, but may add one later.<br \/>\nNote the small white rocks (chips) scattered in the trail. These, and about 40 more \u00bd buckets of chips came from about 100 yards away. Years ago a rock fall destroyed the trail. Crews used sledge hammers (aka &#8216;double-jacks&#8217;) to break rocks and make a trail across.  The result from clearing a trail across the rockfall can be seen below, follow the red dots.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/SL-3-trail-across-rock-fall.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"976\" height=\"657\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9402\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/SL-3-trail-across-rock-fall.jpg 976w, http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/SL-3-trail-across-rock-fall-300x202.jpg 300w, http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/SL-3-trail-across-rock-fall-768x517.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>work site Aug 1 &#038; 2 First photo below: John&#8217;s feet are in the trail.
