[nct-l] trail construction

[nct-l@mailman.backcountry.net (Paul "Siler" Haan)]

Too kind!  I already received a copy from Ed Benson.  It's my sole
maintaining guide at this point (Seems like if you have just one, this is
the one to get!).  Ed did a great job with a training for NCTA folks in PA
this past April.
