Project Summary: This project was logistically challenging because of the condition of the road. The tool truck/van could not make it up to the campsite because the road demands 4WD/high clearance. This meant that VOC staff needed to shuttle gear and volunteers up the 4 mile road to the campsite. This took a lot of time and was demanding.
We did not use the water buffalo; instead we used jugs of water.
We used wag bags for human waste.
62 timber check steps
20 cribs set
15 sq ft rip rap
carried 62 logs at least 1 mile
Successes and Challenges: The scope of work changed drastically because there was an accident with a horse. Originally, all timber check steps were supposed to be carried up by mule/horses but instead volunteers needed to carry them. Volunteers worked hard and had good spirits.
Three things that were difficult to work with CFI:
1. They pushed the hours of the work day beyond what was originally agreed upon. -we were supposed to wrap up at 12:30 on Sunday and they were continuously giving volunteers tasks until close to 2pm.
2. They were not very good at giving instructions to volunteers. CFI told volunteers to get rocks as cribs, and then later told volunteers that the rocks needed to have lichen on them. Additionally, CFI did not clearly explain how deep the timber check steps should be installed. Both of these scenarios resulted in volunteers repeating a lot of work.
3. CFI staff did not help carry down tools. Volunteers and VOC Staff carried all of the tools down, while CFI staff only had to carry their packs.
