Wow! That’s awesome. Glad my mutterings are the catalyst for something positive once in a while. 😉

I have two overnight projects on tap for this summer. The sense of camaraderie on these projects is awesome. Giving back AND having fun. WIN!

I’d also like to leave this here: I credit you and your cronies from the Trail Show for getting me into trail work. A few years back I started listening to the podcast. All of the people on the show, but especially you, convinced me to take the next step from contributing a little money and start doing trail work. Soon my wife and I were hooked and we adopted a section of the North Country Trail in the Allegheny National forest. Now we still have that adopted section, and we supervise 25 miles of trail. Through trail work, we have met many awesome people that we may not have otherwise. The work itself is rewarding, but hanging out after with beer or two is simply awesome. I urge everyone who can do this to try it. I wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t a blast.
