I would like to thank everyone that came out to the Gear Swap and made it a success. We saw a lot of new faces and had a good time looking through everyone’s wares. I personally had a great time just speaking with people there, swapping stories more than gear. I saw some people I worked with and met some people for the first time. It was a very laid back event. I really appreciate ERC letting us use the parking lot and would like to thank Richard Elliot and the steering committee for all their help with the event. Continue reading “From the Chair – May”
A quick update about Appalachian Trail (AT) conditions after the storms of last week. As of now conditions appear to be OK along the trail. Most of the severe wind was along the base of the mountains from near Rogersville and Bristol. Some teams have gone out with some reports removing some minor blowdowns since most Spring work was completed in March and April.
You’ve got chances to learn how to lessen your impact on the outdoors during your adventures and a great sounding camp/hike/paddle adventure. Have some fun out there!
