Highlands Sky Trail Work Day
The Motley Trail Crew
It was a beautiful day in the WV Highlands yesterday to do some trail maintenance. Since several of the trails that make up the Highlands Sky course are part of designated Wilderness, it was hand tools only for this hearty crew. Don’t let the little ones in the picture fool you. We start them out young in the WVMTR club with trail work and even earlier with trail running. . .

Flatrock Trail: No nettles. . . yet!

Some ramps up close and personal: Smell?
In addition to this “Motley” bunch there were two more crews on Boars Nest and South Prong Trails getting things in shape. Thanks everybody.
Thank you everyone. I certainly appreciate your hard work, but if you can get rid of the nettles, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Rick
I wanted to pack a scythe, but Lehmann vetoed the plan. He said it was “unnecessary”, but he made room in his pack for Miracle Grow (Special Stinging Nettle Formula).
Kadra looked pretty tough with that HUGE saw. Im skeered.
Thanks for all the work. Sorry we couldn’t be there.
