Cumberland Trail Maintenance - Graysville

Spent some time with Michigan State, Florida International, and Boston State, working on the Graysville Segment of the Cumberland trail. We had many Rangers and volunteers helping.

Lora and I got the opportunity to spend some time with the college students building the Cumberland trail on Graysville Mt.  We met them at the trail head and hiked in to where they were working in the Gilbreath Creek area.  The students have built close to a mile so far this month.  We got to celebrate Larry Hill's birthday at lunch time with the traditional Happy Birthday song.  It's good exercise, you get to meet good people, and it makes you appreciate the trails you hike.

Cumberland Trail Building

The Cumberland Trail Conference hosted a National Public Lands Day event spanning yesterday and today. Besides Tony Hook and staff there were a large number of Volunteers that showed up both days in order to construct/extend the trail on the Graysville Mountain section of the Cumberland Trail. The section we worked on was located near Dayton, TN off of Highway 30. Anyone in our area that wasn't there missed out on helping to provide something that will live on for generations to come. We had one gentleman by the name of Charlie which traveled all the way from Lexington, Kentucky to help out both days after he read about the event. Way to go Charlie!

I helped out Saturday on the trail work. Worked with a lot of great folks adding to the Cumberland Trail. Thanks to Tony Hook for all your hard work.
