Work done on Saturday May 14:
* Brush cutting: Dwight, Fred, Dave, and Bill (I think that's everybody) spent the day near Humason trestle cutting on the sides of the right of way. This time of year they are getting any young tree shoots before the grass gets too long.
Dwight noted during the spring work weekend how big saplings were getting along portions of the right-of-way, so he and Fred (and others?) have been busy since cutting, so we don't have to use chainsaws later. As it is, a lopper has to be used on some of the saplings, as they have grown too big for the blade trimmers.
I believe Dwight and Fred started at Sheepscot and headed north. The crew today started at the north end of cock-eye curve and got to milepost 6 -- the west side is done a bit north of MP 6, while the east side is a bit short.
Much easier to deal with saplings now, before the seasonal brush, particular the goldenrod, has grown in.
