Trip report of a 3 day hike probably coming, but I was up on part of the Thoreau Falls trail yesterday and was surprised by a sign saying Trail Work. Heh? Then I saw all the backpacks and tools laying by the bridge, I think there was 7-8 FS folks, all from the Pemi district, including all 4 of the pro trail crew. They were cutting rebar when I went through, and on my way back one of the stringers was off on one side. Pretty impressive. They have to saw (by hand of course) these humongous logs into pieces instead of just letting it into the river, because of some serious creosote on them (seepage was quite a few inches in). Only got a couple photos because I didn't want to bother them too much with their work going on and it was a hazard zone technically, but one of the crew offered me a 3' chunk of log as a souvenir.
I also heard them out there this morning and one ranger at LinWoods said they've been out since Monday. 4 trucks at the tentsites, guessing they're staying there for the week given how early and late they are at the site.

Couple of pictures. Sorry for the crapiness, but like I said I didn't want to linger too long. In the 2nd pic, the log is NOT in the river, it's actually suspended above it.
