[pct-l] Thru-Hikers & Trail Work Projects

[Donna Saufley]

The trail crew typically does a project near Lake Morena at KO time.  There
was only one thru-hiker who worked the project the last time I attended.
Can’t speak to how many go out during ADZ and help since then.

 

In ’05 we hosted Pete Fish’s trail crew here near the season’s peak.  We
tried to recruit hikers to go worth with them – the dare being thrown down
that no one could outwork (then) 79 year old Doris Peddy.  There were three
takers.  Two couldn’t keep up at all, and one of them barely could.  She’s
82 now, still doing trail work, and can still kick the sorry behinds of
people a fraction of her age.   She’s one of my personal heroes.

Bob also started a hiker-maintenance patch.  For 8 hours of work on the
trail you get a patch. 

 

---------------------------------

 

I should also mention after Trail Days in Damascus Bob runs "Hardcore" and
for a couple days after a group of 100 or more do a major project.

 

Something to consider to try and implement on the PCT.
