Seized Up

After trudging up and down the trail yesterday we slept fairly well, but as Kadizzle sat on the edge of the bed and tried to get dressed a pain shot through his lower back.  For a few moments moving was impossible.  Slowly the pain subsided and movement began.  Walking the fifteen feet to the easy chair was like a person who was recovering from back surgery.  Slowy the muscles are coming back to normalcy.  The Commander is determined to shoot up another mountain trail today, so hopefully the lame shall walk. 

Our trail crew has managed to clear about five trails.  The problem is we can only clear the brush from the first three miles or so.  We have to head back to the truck by 1:30, so we basically can work from about nine until that time.  The hike back takes time.  The net result of all this is that we need to figure a way to work on the trails on the higher parts of the mountain.  We may start exploring roads that will get us to the top of the mountains so we can work our way down.  To make matters worse the heaviest brush is on the top rather than on the way up.  The reason is simple that is where the moisture is.
