Jim T says Vineyard Gap needs a bit of attention, so let's go get it this week. Meet at the Turkey Pen trailhead at 8. As ever, please let me know if you will be out. Bill

Folks, Well we got the trail at Firescald dedicated and hiked last Sunday, and Jack has put in 3 good weeks at Balsam Gap, so it's off to a new location this week. We will go to Big Butt (go up though Wolf Laurel development) and work the trail down including the blue blazed trail. The word is plenty of tread to be widened and many water bars and silt bars to be installed. We will need one saw to cut bars (Piet or Howard please let me know if you want to be the "saw man"), others bring digging tools. Asheville folks meet at the Forest Service office at 8:00, Hendersonville folks at Ingles at 7:20. As always, I appreciate you letting me know if you are coming so I can plan. See you all on Friday.
