The Trail Maintainers

Here you get a better view of Overmountain shelter, but more interestingly, we ran into the crew of trail maintainers working on this section of the AT. Harry and I noticed the great work they've been doing with relocations all the way from Unaka Mtn. to north of Watauga Lake. Especially refreshing was the relo north of US 19E to Dennis Cove. What a beautiful hike! Our hats our off to these men and women performing such difficult and vital work. This day, the AT crew was striking camp due to bad weather--not a good omen for us hikers.
