NPS-Sandstone Peak/Mishe Mokwa connector trail Crewleader: Dave Edwards Summary: We began our short hike at 7:30 and started work at 7:50 near the Sandstone Peak end of the Backbone connector trail.Two of us spent about 90 minutes straightening the trail sign post at the juncture of Sandstone Peak and the Backbone connector trail. It was apparently knocked several degrees off vertical by heavy machinery and was bent near its bottom. We continued work on a previous section where we moved the trail over and out of a badly eroded trench. We still needed to flatten the trail be removing a slight crown. We cleared weeds and burned out stumps and moved the trail over at another section close to the Sandstone Peak end. When we return on our next outing we'll finish this last section. This will leave a continuous new trail next to the old, rutted trail all the way from the bottom at the Sandstone Peak side up to where it levels off. We arrived back at trailhead parking at 12:00. Crew size: 4 Hours worked: 4.5 Total hours: 18 Total feet of trail worked: 100 ft
