Hello and Welcome to Field Updates!
Field Updates are updated every Friday between 12pm and 5pm.
North 4 update 08/20 Week 5
Red Crew -This Past Week (8/16- wk 4): The Red Crew was on the Pacific Crest Trail in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Using historic logging methods to fall trees, they’re built a 30’ tiered turnpike to distinguish the PCT from the other trail it crosses as well as clreaed out old drainages to properly drain the water off the trail. They were camped at an alpine lake where one minute they’re engulfed in clouds and the next they were backing in the sun.This is a magical place the youth seem to be enjoying.
This Upcoming Week (8/23-wk 5): The Red Crew will head back towards the PCT, but this time in the Glacier Peak Wilderness outside LakeWenatchee.The will be doing general trail maintenance, including everything from brushing to rock walls to cleaning old drainages.
Orange Crew - This Past Week (8/16- wk 4): This past week Orange Crew hiked 5 miles into the back country to work on the PCT and Goat Lake Trail.The crew did outstanding work surpassing Forest Service expectations.Each morning they were greeted on the trail with views of CastelMountain and mountain goats on the hills.
