My company allows us to use 12 hours a year to do volunteer work. I decided to use 8 of those hours doing trail maintenance. An opportunity came up to join a group doing trail maintenance on the Shawangunk Ridge Trail in Minnewaska State Park Preserve. A park employee drove us along a carriage road and dropped us off at a trail which would take us to the SRT. There were 6 of us - we broke up into 3 groups of 2. One would trim the brush (with a gas powered trimmer - how civilized!) and one of us would sweep up the trimmings and throw them off the trail. We worked on a heavily overgrown section of trail near Margaret Cliff. It was a nice group of folks, who appreciated us joining them. The section of trail we cleared will be used next month for an ultra trail run.
