Hiking with Tools! is an introductory opportunity for giving back to the Appalachian Trail by helping out with routine maintenance. All tools will be furnished, and no prior experience required; we’ll provide hands-on training! Please note that this Saturday is the second one in November instead of the traditional third.  We will target 2nd Saturday from now on. The plan is to gather at Indian Grave Gap trailhead at 9 am to work south primarily by using a battery-powered hedge trimmer and loppers to cut the uphill growth of rhododendrons from pushing hikers to the lower side of the path. We’ll work as far and long as the group chooses,  and then return to the parking area.  Last month we cut closer to Curly Maple Gap Shelter.  Please email/text/call me by Thursday 11/12 evening so sufficient tools can be obtained – and if you have any questions
