Strange or Strangest - August 10th

Good Evening Fellow NCTr's:

I've been contemplating and comtemplating. Is it ONE OF the strangest, or is it THE STRANGEST thing I've seen while out working on and maintaining the North Country Trail all these years? I've come to the conclusion that it is the strangest. Found this afternoon, on top of Booth Hill at GL285, near the state line end, on a tree recently cleared by the gamelands crew with their mower. Check it out http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/2298639350098879960groiTh I don't know.

The next photo is of Rick "The Digging Machine" Ostheimer doing some quality work cleaning up a section of trail up on the Gateway bench this morning. I didn't get a good photo of Doug "The Paint Blazing Machine" Turner as he was moving too fast and the couple that I shot in his direction ended up blurry. Doug got the entire bench back to the Chewton vista reblazed, and Rick cleaned up yards and yards of sketchy trail this morning. Dave "Kind of Hanging Towards The Middle" Brewer helped out with both and took some pictures. Thanks to those guys for coming out this morning.

We'll be at Watt's Mill tomorrow afternoon at 4:00 to put in the new trail to the shelter in preparation for Monday evening's Chapter meeting. It looks simple with the help of the DR mower, a chainsaw, and some loppers but many hands make light work - especially in this heat. Hope you can make it out!

Thanks for all you do for the trail,
Dave Brewer
