Eleven eager volunteers came out to help do trail maintenance on a section PATC hike leaders, Marit Gay and Jeff Monroe, oversee between Turk Gap and Crimora Lake Overlook. Fortunately overcast skies made for a cooler day. The work accomplished included clearing waterbars, building new waterbars, removing a fallen tree over the trail, and weed trimming the middle section of the trail. The volunteers were made up of Michael Seth, Emerald Young, Dave Borszich, Pete Fink, Brian Muszynski, Bill Holman, Iva Gillet, Rich Bard, and John Brandt. Mark Perschel and Marit Gay directed the activities and were very grateful to all for the energetic help for the day. Lunch, homemade dessert, and a cooler of adult beverages were enjoyed by everyone after nearly three hours of labor on the trail. Following this was a group hike to the summit of Turk Mt. A contingent of hikers went on to the Blue Toad Pub to finish off the day. Thanks everyone!
