Stump at Stub!

I had the task of pulling a stump out the side of the All Mountain Trail on the south side trail at L.L. "Stub" Steward State Park (try saying that 5 times fast!) not a very big one, but it was in deep for sure.
It took about 45mins to dig out under it and then cut the roots with an ax.
And that of course that destroyed the trail as I worked it out of the ground, so not wanting to have gaping hole in the trail, I had to head back to the Gator and get the McCloud and rebuild the trail and fix a few wet spots along the the way. I hate wet spots, they always form in the worst spots, like the part of the trail that you get your flow going and, SPLAT! slide, and your down! So I try to keep the trail free of wet spots the best I can.

I'm beat, I need a hot shower and cold beer! It was kind of cold out there today, It was starting to lightly snow as I was heading out of the woods!
