This picture reminds me of a buddy of mine, lol. He was telling me about how hard of a time he had getting his safety harness on when deer hunting the afternoon before as it was the first time he had ever used one. I'm laughing and he tells it me he outsmarted it by labeling the shoulder straps with "L" and "R" in sharpie. That weekend we were hunting together and he gets out of the truck, dons his safety harness and is beaming with pride as he asks me to check it out.....I 'bout fell down laughing, he had labeled them backwards, lol.If your Doctor is a tree, you're on acid.

Thought I'd post some photos of what we look for when doing our boundary monitoring.
First two are of the aluminum surveyors monuments

With a view to the south of the Hudson curving around the Dunderberg toward Pyngyp.
I can only think of one place that would fit.
The place has about a thousand steps on a stairway going up to it, thanks to Coach Lou's colleagues. (Although I still like the Major Welch better!)I'm not lost. I know where I am. I'm right here. -

Most people who go up the AT there aren't hikers and I bet most of them never think about how those steps got there.
In fact, they are the reason for that project. Sooooo many people use the AT to go to the top of Bear Mountain that it was causing major erosion (and other) problems for the trail. I've seen people going up in everything from flip flops to very tall spike heels. So the NJ/NY Tail Conference proposed to harden the trail by making the stone steps. And, as they say, the rest is history. -

2015 Maine Trail Crew
[IMG:https://gallery.mailchimp.com/d24d2dc1e5c2bdee476c93f68/images/33379089-5c98-4771-b131-2ccf0a66cbdd.jpg] You won't see any orange cones or flaggers, but there's no doubt it's construction season on the Appalachian Trail in Maine. We're welcoming new members to our 2015 Maine Trail Crew (MTC) who are heading to four project sites this summer, beginning June 20 and wrapping up August 19.
The MTC roster is diverse, with members ranging from age 18 to 72 and hailing from areas outside of Maine and New England including Florida, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Texas, and even Finland!
Members work as a cohesive unit using stone-building techniques and rock-moving equipment including a grip hoist. At the Sandy River Steps project, an MTC crew will build durable steps up a steep slope to Saddleback Mountain. There are still openings for the July 25 - August 19 crew!

Well, Lou, that s*ks. Four new tires for the Fish Car to keep the AWD in balance?
Good luck with it.I'm not lost. I know where I am. I'm right here. -
Not needed because they were brandy new in May, only 2000 miles. The best part is , I limped back on the spare and they gave me a new one on warranty!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do buy alot of tires from Town Fair, here in town. But, the workday is shot. I am going to head down to Campmor , I should get in in time to help carry tools out, stay @ LT 1 and work tomorrow.Cheesecake> Ramen

I told Ov to only make 1. Last year it took both nites to eat both. The Jolly Rovers were working in Fahnstock, 30 of them. About 20 showed for dinner. They finished off the cheese cake. Later, Club member Bill, came by the Hooch looking for a piece to bring to Ralph (ralphs peak shelter).........oops.....sorry Ralph......The Rovers got it all!Cheesecake> Ramen
