In case anyone is interested.
From the BMTA:
4/19-4/24
"Trail-A-Thon: Save the Dates! Attend the first Cheoah Ranger District "Trail-A-Thon" trail maintenance week. We will have free camping at the Rattler Ford Group Camp Area, right beside the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest in Graham County, North Carolina, and breakfasts and suppers provided by the Benton MacKaye Trail Association.
Starting on Monday, April 20th, we will split into groups and work sections of the BMT between the Cheoah River and Fontana Dam, starting with chainsaw work first and then brush cutting and tread work. On Friday, we will join the Partners of the Joyce Kilmer Slickrock Wilderness in a clearing of the trails in the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, with lunch provided by that group.
Come for one day or the full week. Plenty of tent sites, and there are a handful of sites for self-contained RVs or campers. We will do group cooking for the breakfasts and suppers, so you only have to bring your lunches. Great chance to join your friends for a great camping and trail work experience.
Dick and Margaret Evans are coordinating this event, so contact them at "bmta AT frontier.com" or 828-479-2503 for further details and to sign up. We need to know how many are coming to get the food right."
