On Saturday August 16 I'll be leading a hike along the Bald River in the Tellico District of the Cherokee National Forest. Afterward, I plan to head on up to Beaverdam Bald and walk down to the Benton MacKaye Trail and camp. A 4 WD vehicle is required to navigate the 6-mile rutted out Forest Service road. I'll have some room to take a couple of folks up there in my Jeep.
The next day - Sunday August 17 - we'll be doing some trail work along the Brookshire Creek Trail in the Upper Bald River Wilderness Study Area.
Anyone interested in joining me for an overnight and some trail work? This is a beautiful area. Work will involve lopping, hand sawing, cutting brush, and some light tread work. Power tools are not permitted in this area.
Send me a PM if you're interested.
Thanks.
