With the clock past 9 a.m., hand ready to turn the car key, I looked in the mirror and saw the experienced trail crew of Pete Fink and Bev Maresca arriving, so three of us set up to keep the AT between Rockfish and McCormick Gaps in good condition. At McCormick Gap, we cleared waterbars, mainly removing leaves, then did some regrading in several spots to allow water to run off the trail more easily, mainly by removing the berm on the outer edge of the trail. After lunch, Bev and Pete had a business appointment while I continued regrading, and removed a couple of rocks that were potential tripping hazards, before doing more of the same at Rockfish Gap and widened a few feet of trail by removing earth which had moved down hill onto the trail.
