Forest Recovery Team Backpacking trail maintenance

Since Wednesday we (the Forest Recovery Team) have been backpacking like crazy around the San Gorgonio Wilderness doing trail maintenance. We all packed out Tuesday evening with all the gear we would need, and left Wednesday morning around 9am. We drove nearly 2 hours to get to our destination, and then we parked the cars, got out our packs and prepared for a 5.5 mile hike climbing from 8000ft to 10000ft. And we would camp at a campsite at roughly 10000ft. We got to our campsite in a little under 3 hours and set up camp, made dinner and we all went to sleep pretty early to hike out the next day to work on the trail.
We got up around 7am, and made some breakfast, then we packed up what we would need for the day, and walked out another 5 or 6 miles on the trail. once we got there we pulled out tools and began to cut the trail back, and make the trail more usable, now I think the trails here in SoCal are basically like highways, they basically are 2 to 3 feet wide and not really all that steep at all, but that is what the Forest Service wanted us to do so we did it, we cut about 3 miles of trail and then hiked back to camp. We got back to camp around 6:45 pm and we got some dinner ready and went to sleep.
We got up around 7am again and packed up to hike back to the cars, another 5.5 miles, we eneded up leaving around 9:15am, and hiked to the cars, which we got to by 11am. A really fast hike, although it was all downhill and pretty easy. We got in the cars and drove back to camp, we arrived at about 1:30pm, and then we were off for the rest of the day. A really good week, mostly hiking and not too much work although we did hike 23 miles in a little more than 48 hours, which was a little tiring, but we have the weekend now. It was really fun, I thought it was really odd that some of the people with us had never been camping before, I guess with all the camping experience I have I let it slip past me that some people don't really ever get the chance to camp, or canoe or hike as much as I do. But everyone had fun which was really cool.
