WILMINGTON TRAIL CLUB TRAIL CARE ANNNOUNCEMENT

by Jan King, AT Supervisor for Wilmington Trail Club

The Wilmington Trail Club (WTC) will hold a maintenance work trip on May 14 for the Appalachian Trail (AT) section from the Delaware River at the Pennsylvania–New Jersey line to Fox Gap at Pennsylvania Route 191. Jan King will lead the event (yorklyn@aol.com; 302-530-6798). This will be a general work trip involving cleanup of the Kirkridge Shelter, repainting some blazes, and trimming brush along trail. With enough people (2 cars), we can hike the entire 7-mile section of trail. In Delaware, meet at 7:30 AM at the Brandywine Park and Ride, Brandywine Commons, Wilmington. Plan to arrive at Fox Gap 9:30-10:00 AM and leave for the day at 4:00-5:00 PM. At the end of the day, we may have time for a snack stop at the Village Bakery in Delaware Water Gap.

No experience needed; the only requirement is enthusiasm. WTC club membership is not required. Dress for a long day outside on occasionally rocky trails; also bring gloves, your favorite hand trimmers if you wish, lunch, snacks, and water.
 
We especially welcome volunteers from the Delaware Water Gap region to join us and see your local AT section.
