Along the girard ridge

"Along the Girard Ridge" 

We hitched for nine days
             up along the Girard Ridge. 
Shasta to our north, giving us looks all day.
Frost over the sixth night. 

Along the Girard Ridge we spread
               like sinuses on a cold morning. 

The crew went through with loppers first
then brush-cutters and pole saws
to widen the trail. 
Some dusty tread work with McCloud and Pulaski
to finish the hitch.

Pine pitch to start fires, 
a bag of potato chips as a snack.
