Last minute changes of plans led Tony Alimenti and John Shannon to do some maintenance on the Chapter'a section of Appalachian Trail at Rockfish Gap. At our meeting place we met Mark Gatewood, District Manager who was leading a group of people working at Beagle Gap.
We used McLeods to remove leaves and loose earth from the drains, and at a number, we widened and lengthened water runoffs to slow erosion. On our way out, we removed some garlic mustard where the trail meets Skyline Drive, after seeing little on the short section we were on. John then continued to McCormick Gap to do some more of the same and found hairy bittercress was the newest unwanted plant to grow there. There were some backpackers who appreciated what we did.
