Kevin's comments...
This year we have plenty of work activities planned that will keep us busy all weekend. For Trails Day, Tim had organized a work day on the AT near Longhill Road, we will be going back there to finish up some stone steps and install a bunch of waterbars. We will be doing plenty of projects right at the shelter as well, mainly finishing up the turnpiking, and fixing some items that were damaged this past winter.
There will be plenty of food available, besides our normal meals we have served; blueberry pancakes and egg sandwiches and cereals for breakfast, burgers and dogs for lunches, and steaks, chicken, and pork chops for dinner, we are adding more meals for our fellow veggie hikers and workers...
And it looks like we are going to do a little Tex-Mex theme as well for some of the meals with tacos, chili, and fajitas... YUM YUM... Lots of eats!!!
This work weekend is not associated with any one trail group, Tim puts in a lot of his own sweat and dollars into this project over the course of the year to make this weekend top notch for all involved.
See you on the trail!
