Maintainer Charles Parry From Roanoke

There's a nice article in the 28 January 2007 Roanoke (VA) Times by Evelio Contreras ("Weather Doesn't Stop Trial Maintenance") about a day in the life of a trail maintainer.

And of his crew, of course.

This crew is part of the Roanoke Appalachian Trail Club. The article details their putting in three water bars at McAfee Knob. While it was snowing. And then raining.

Where would hikers be without folks like that? Wow!

Next work hike is 18 February.
