Good Evening Fellow NCTr's:
If you listen closely you can now hear ferns growing out on the Cemex sections, and they will eventually overpower the multifloral, raspberry bushes, poison ivy, and weeds. Reason being is that Bob Cody reports that he went out Friday morning to his mile of NCT between River Road and Tony Dytko Rd. and thrashed all of the bad stuff with the mower and weedwacker, and then Doug Turner and I went out this morning and destroyed (ok, ok, we cut them back) all of the nasty plants on a mile and a half of trail at the western end of the property. Cemex is looking good - just about 4' x 8' its entire length. We were also able to get the hiker journal boxes placed at the Snake Run Road East and Sankey Hill Road trailheads. A productive couple of days on the North Country Trail, and the ferns love it! Some photos from today here, starting on the bottom row: http://outdoors.webshots.com/album/577334854UNgKrW?start=96
The plan for tomorrow, Sunday the 18th, is to head to the Sterling Road trailhead at Gamelands 285 and start construction on the trail to Indian Rock. We'll start at 5:00 and plan on being out a couple of hours - I'll bring the tools - bring plenty of water as it is going to be another hot one!
Monday evening please come out to the backpacker shelter at Watt's Mill at 6:00 for our chapter meeting/pot luck picnic/wienie roast. Chapter members and non-members are all invited. A beautiful spot along the North Fork of Little Beaver Creek that everyone should check out. Please send Cathy Garrett an email at Dcgcag@gmail.com if you are coming so we're sure to have enough wienies and enough luck (you thought I was gonna write 'pot', huh?)
Thanks for all you do for the trail - Hope to see you on Sunday and/or Monday evening.
