Tuscarora Trail Worker is AT Thru-Hiker

The Martinsburg (WV) Journal has a weekly column that is a "series of 28 stories that will run every Monday about interesting finds a little off the beaten path in West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle." The one dated 26 March 2007 is by Robert Snyder, and titled "Pathway treats hikers to long walk in woods".

The Appalachian Trail is mentioned throughout the article, but as a reference point when, for example, some other path crosses it. Good descriptions of the side trails. In particular there is mention of Katherine Rindt. "Rindt, along with her husband Jon, who through-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 1996, have become trail workers, and now spend much of their time keeping the trails in good working order for hikers, bikers and backpackers." They work on the Tuscarora Trail.
