My original plan for this Sunday's trail work was to walk in a mile to Indian Rock hill at Gamelands 285 to start grubbing out the new section of trail. However, a weather forecast of 87 degrees, humid, with a 40% chance of rain has made me reevaluate that. We will instead run with Plan B, which is to go to the shelter at Watt's Mill and (hopefully) finish off the last of the work that needs done there, including adding two roof supports, installing a couple of shelves and the hiker box, as well as putting in some hardware for hanging backpacks and tarps.
In addition to changing my work plan, I also need to deviate from our usual working times. We'll be meeting at 3:00 PM Sunday afternoon at the Watt's Mill Road trailhead and plan to be out for a couple of hours. Who knows? If the forecast holds true we may be able to test the weather protection capabilities of that shelter. Or, we may be inclinded to go swimming in the creek just to cool off.
Hope to see you at Watt's Mill on Sunday afternoon - I'll bring the tools and material - bring along water and your favorite bug protection - it's gonna be a warm one. And, as usual, come when you can and leave when you have to as all help is appreciated.

Sunday Update
Good Afternoon Fellow NCTr's:
Mother Nature installed the sauna, we installed two shelves, a hiker log box, roof supports, tie-down and pack-hanging rings, and some flowers yesterday afternoon at the shelter. Thanks to Dennis, Cathy, and Doug for making the trip out on a sultry Sunday.
We also had a chance to meet and talk some hiking with a gentleman from North Lima, OH - trail name "Crosby" - who spends quite a bit of time hiking this segment of North Country Trail. Compliments from him all around to those who devote their time to building, maintaining, and supporting the North Country Trail in the area.

Thanks for all you do for the trail!
