March 13 Work detail at Pilot Mountain SP















Piedmont Hiking and Outing Club along with Friends of Sauratown Mountains and a few other folks, converged on the Jomokee Trail at Pilot Mountain State Park today for some trail work.















Buckets of ballast were carried from the trailhead out to the knob and dumped on eroded spots. That went on for 2 hours. My arms are 2 inches longer now. Once that was in place, we dug ballast which had run off the trail, tossed it back on the trail.















And finally we dragged downed trees and bushes to fill in gullies to discourage folks from eroding manways. I can't wait to do this again.
