The Carolina Mountain Club now has permission to do trail maintenance on a little bit of the AT. Not the section we maintain yet - which is still closed. So, we went out with the Friday crew to help out. We are eager to get trails clear so that everyone can start hiking again. Our job today was mostly removing branches from the trail and swamping (i.e. assisting the person who works with the chain saw). We had a good time. It's been a long time since we've been out with a trail crew. We are section maintainers - going out to maintain our section by ourselves. We followed a sawyer named John - this is the section he maintains. We had a large crew today, split into 3 groups who worked from different locations. The trails looked better than expected. Nice fall foliage out there.
