While building new stone steps on my AT section in Shenandoah today, not one but TWO hikers stopped to help me with the trail work. I've been an AT overseer since 1996 and this is the first time somebody stopped to lend a hand. I was at first speechless, then quite thankful. Makes up for the time I was chainsawing a tree blocking the trail and a hiker came up behind me and hurdled the deadfall. He seemed to be in a hurry........
