It's been 10 days since we last hiked! The daily chance of thunderstorms tends to make us stay at home. We are overdue on doing trail maintenance - so we headed out today to work on weed whacking with swing blades. We encountered a messy down tree that needed cleaning up. Unfortunately, it was too large for us to remove. We only finished 1.7 miles of weed whacking before we were too tired and ready to head home. It's going to take us another couple of trips to finish.

We met a bunch of lady backpackers. Yeah! We saw two groups of ladies guided by Heidi and Mel of Blue Ridge Hiking Company. Mel is also a CMC member, though I haven't met her before. Heidi, I met once before at a brewery in Charlotte where she works - I went to hear a talk by Anish there.
