I remember the photo essay about a work day to improve a boggy
part of the Tevis trail.

I am curious:  was it part of the Granite Chief stretch?  My
recollection is that it was much closer in to Auburn?

Is it possible to work to improve the Granite Chief stretch of
trail?  Or is it verboten because this is an officially-designated
Wilderness area?

Wondering,
