Trail Maintainance

Well, this last weekend I went hiking in Bryce Canyon National Park, and came across some machinery used to maintain the trails we were on, deep in the backcountry. Thought some of it was pretty incongruous, but interesting anyway.

First came across this tracked walk-behind dumper. Pretty interesting little machine. Like an all-terrain, powered wheelbarrow.

Image
Then there was this small dozer perched just before a section of trail that had been recently washed out and repaired.

Image
I know some of you will like this one. This was near the dozer pictured above.

Back at Ruby's Inn, there was this big Farmall parked in a utility lot. Probably still usable. There was also a really old looking (and badly corroded) International next to a pond with no front axle and probably 25 gallons of water down the exhaust. :(

Thanks! Bryce is an amazing place - if you're ever out in SW Utah, its a "must see." Lots of amazing rock formations, views to forever, nice weather, and so much to do. Plus, apparently, they've got some tractors sitting around too!

Cool... Not sure I want to drag my Gravely out to work on the trails, but I do have dual wheels and one of their 'Sno Dozer' blades. Suprising, but it is much taller than a Cub's 54 blade.

If you make it out here, drop me a line. Hiking's one of my big past times.
