Trail: building, science, art, journeys, and gear
I went here because Eddie Walsh from Tahawus Trails suggested I check it out.

I missed the opportunity to work with the Mid Atlantic ATC during their visit, but I manged to sit in on some Scrabble sessions with them, and do about 100 miles of trail inventory in Sterling Forest, The Schunemunks, and Storm King during that time (livin’ the dream). I got back to the mountain recently…it was good to be

Recently a good canine friend of mine (actually Chris’ dog from Tahawus Trails, and The Jolly Rovers) got bitten by a snake at the job site she frequents, a copperhead I believe. Thankfully she recovered to her normal rambunctious self…and learned something. Attie and I often play, as her playful demeanor is infectious. I had

After some construction on the original segment of the Appalachian Trail (now Major Welch), and the Upper East Face of the Appalachian Trail at Bear Mountain, I began work at Sterling Forest. It began with trail inventory hikes, then moved to trail construction and future layout/design on the Doris Duke Trail. After seeing the documentary
