Work on the ATT

Bill Bussey of the Triangle Rails-to-Trails Conservancy set me up with some volunteer work on the ATT this past Saturday morning. I learned a few interesting things about the trail, and I felt good giving back (even though it was just a little) to the trail that I have enjoyed so much over the past year and a half or so.

A group of about 6 of us started our work just north of New Hope Church Rd, at the Panther Creek trestle (this was my first time at that location). Later we were joined by a few others. Basically all I did was carry some logs and limbs off the trail into the woods, and pick up whatever trash I saw. Shortly before noon, as I was returning across the drainage ditch after having moved some logs, I felt something funny about my shoe. I looked down and the sole of my shoe was going one way and the rest of my shoe another! The sole fell completely off. That was a first, and made for a long wet-footed walk out of the woods to my truck!
