[at-l] Trail Maintenance

[Ferguson@CWF.org (Ferguson, J. Mark)]

I'm gonna answer this one on list 'cause it's got an advertisement on the
end... 1. Yes, Tidewater ATC (I know, that's an oximoron, but so was I). 2.
Yes, co-lead a section. 3. Yes, some folks don't like to hike with me 'cause
I keep pulling downs off the trail and it slows them up.

THE AD IS -- Anyone in the central Virgina area who's plans for the weekend
are limited to lint collection and shoe lace rotation is welcome to come
join TATC at USFS Sherando Lake campground (south of Waynesboro) for a
weekend campout and Saturday trail maintenance trip.   Ask for my good twin
Mark...

Hi All,

Had a great weekend hiking from Pine Grove Furnace to Caledonia.  On the
hike we came across some PATC trail maintainers.  This sparked a discussion
as this was an AMC sponsered hike.  The AMC has a difficult time getting
people to show up for trail works, but we have a very heavy hiking, biking,
and canoing schedule.  PATC on the other hand focuses in trail maintenance.

I am taking an informal survey (please reply off list).  I would like to
know;  1.  Do you belong to a trail club?  2.  Do they perform trail
maintenance?  3.  Do you perform any maintenance?

Thanks in advance for the information.  I think that the AMC Delaware Valley
Chapter should be doing more in the way of trail maintenance.
