For a day that started out cold and wet, the PATC's
Charlottesville Chapter did pretty well rounding up trail workers to head out
to St. Mary's Wilderness and work deep into the wilderness reclaiming the
Cellar Mtn Trail. The PATC worked with
the Southern Appalachian Wilderness Stewards (SAWS) and Wild Virginia to
reclaim the Cellar Mountain Trail, which was lost to years of unchecked
vegetation growth. PATC participants
included John Brandt, John Shannon, Marit Anderson, Mark Perschel, and Jeff
Monroe. The group continued trail work
that had been undertaken previously, and progressed to the end of the
trail! It isn’t yet perfect, but it is
much more open than it was before the effort started. PATC-Charlottesville hopes to have a group
hike out here in the Spring of 2020.
