The Rocktown Weekly (Harrisonburg, VA) of about 19 June 2007 has an article by Amber Lester titled "The Flying MacLeods; Volunteer group keeps Appalachian Trail ready for more hikers." The MacLeods of the title are the Shenandoah National Park South District Trail Crew, named for the trail-clearing tool they use.
The article reports on the imnportant trail maintenance work done along the Appalachian Trail by the crew, especially in the wake of last fall's ice storm. While a couple folks in the crew are named and quoted and pictures, most of the article stems from an interview of Mark Gatewood, the group's trail overseer.
Contact information to volunteer your time is included.
