What: As we moved the machine down, there were sections of side hill that had a lot of rocks. In order to keep the trail difficulty and the rocks, we decided to save those sections for hand building.
This is very different from the hand finishing work we've been doing. A lot more digging, using rock bars and picks to move material off and cut in the new trail.
