The week started off with the whole crew at the Log Cabin, doing work on Lowe’s Path right below the cabin, placing rock steps on a steep section of the path. On Wednesday, half of the crew will be back down at the lodge continuing work on the Ledge trail. As there is only one more week in the season left, the crew are scrambling to finish thier projects.
Work has hit a nice steady pace in the weeks after the crew’s midsummer break. On the first day back the crew packboarded firewood up to Grey Knob for the winter caretaker- a physically strenuous process that took the crew a day and a half. After packboarding, the crew was split between construction and maintenance on Israel Ridge and Ledge trails.
Monday night marked the third annual Craig Wok- where trail crew, caretakers and a few members of the board enjoy takeout Chinese food and the fantastic view from Craig Camp. Originally started as a way to both thank the caretakers and serve as an exit interview, this year the trail crew joined in as well, celebrating the arrival (and birthday) of Rachel Biggs. Happy birthday, Rachel!
