Good Afternoon Fellow NCTr's:
Trailwork plans for the upcoming week are as follows:
Tuesday morning, August 10th we'll head out to the Gateway bridge area for a couple of hours to clean up a short stretch of sidehill leading up to the bench, and also do some badly-needed repainting of the blazes in this area. We'll access the trail from the Mines and Meadows campground on Darlington Road, leaving for there from Jata's in Wampum at 9:00 AM. Come earlier to Jata's for breakfast if you'd like. By the way - the Jata's crew will be on vacation the next week and the restaurant will be closed, so if you need your Jata's fix better get it this Tuesday.
Wednesday afternoon, August 11th we'll be working at Watt's Mill and Gamelands 285 in clearing a new trail to the backpacker shelter so that it is accessible for next Monday evening's chapter meeting. The plan is to meet at 4:00 PM at the Watt's Mill Road trailhead and spend two hours or so getting that pathway open. If you can't make it out at 4:00 come when you can and head west (the side of the road with the wood NCT sign) up to the Garrett/Gamelands boundry line where you will find us working down to the creek - follow the orange flags.
As usual, I'll bring the tools and paint - bring along lots of water as it is going to be another hot week in western PA. Come when you can and stay as long as you want as all help is appreciated. Hope to see you on the trail . . .
