"Wilderness," according to the Wilderness Act of 1964, is
...an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain...

From September 1st to September 16th, Team Sunshine will hunker down in the northeastern most corner of Washington known as the Salmo-Priest Wilderness.
During our first experience in the a national wilderness, we will face a new set of interesting public land use rules and regulations. A wilderness is a federally protected area of public land, within either a National Forest or Park, which acts as a sanctuary for flora, fauna, and watersheds. There is a strict adherence to LNT practices in the wilderness, where anything with a motor (cars and chainsaws alike), and even bicycles, are not allowed.
So what is our first challenge? To clear 150 fallen trees from the trail on Hughes Ridge.
With cross cuts.
Wish us luuuuuuuck :)
GO TEAM SUNSHINE!
