The Trail Clean-up Day is almost upon us. We will meet at 10:00am at Little Fort Camp (aka Little Fort Recreation Area) off SR758. This is at the north end of the Peter's Mill Run trail.
While our focus will be on trail maintenance, this is a good opportunity to get a feel for how the mall crawler handles off paved roads. The trail can be easily run with a stock 4WD Toyota (however J**ps beware and Landy owners should be sure to bring along your mechanic).
Wear sturdy boots, warm clothes and a hat (dress in layers so you can regulate). Bring work gloves, water, and snacks. If you have lopers, or a cordless sawsall, bring them. We will be painting trail markers, clearing a short overgrown access road for rescue access, and putting up signs. We will need a posthole digger, one or two long handled shovels and a couple of tamping bars. Not a big deal if you forget them because the Forest Tech who will give us our instructions will have what tools we need, along with requisite hard hats. However, if we bring our own tools, someone doesn't have to run them back to the Forest Tech when we quit for the day.
Directions: From I-81: Take exit 279 and turn east on SR 675. In the center of Edinburg (T-intersection), turn left onto US 11. At north end of Edinburg, turn right onto SR 675. Follow SR 675 for 5.9 miles over Massanutten Mountain to a STOP sign at Kings Crossing (T-intersection). Turn left (north) and drive 7.3 miles to Detrick. Turn left onto SR 758 in Detrick and drive 2.7 miles to camp entrance on left.
