Abstract
My crew was based out of Mt. Vernon, WA and we spent most of our time working in Skagit county. Including me, there were 5 members of the crew and a supervisor. A typical day would involve meeting in Mt. Vernon at 7am, piling in the work truck, and heading off to wherever our sponsor for the week needed us. There were also opportunities to be a part of what was called a “spike”, either a 4 or 8 day backcountry trip that usually involves trail maintenance. Throughout the summer I got the opportunity to be on 2 different “spikes”. While these were great adventures, unexpected storms, illnesses, and crewmember injuries made them less productive than most of our day-to-day work.
