May 10 Moving on South

Chris and Marietta have been working as a couples team on the west side of the parkway near MP278.6. Like forest elves, they come in and do their good work and move on. On to the progress ~

You may recall this photo from the April posting.

They begun the work at this point at the bottom of the ridge near the road.
Today they picked up at the top of the ridge (see line ;) and continued up and over to the traverse.

A good cut was made and the trail is extended another 200 feet.
Also a number of safety flagged dead trees, limbs, and other hazards were removed. Thanks Chris and Marietta and all the volunteers who are moving the MST forward, step by step, inch by inch southward! One of these days I'm going to get a photo of those elusive woodlands elfin!
