WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY What: Intro to (trailwork) Tools When: 3:00 to 4:30 Why: In order to take care of our trails, we need to take care of our tools! This is a casual and mostly indoors introduction to the work we do to maintain 50 miles of the Appalachian Trail. We will go over what each tool does and how we use it. Then we will clean the tools (a very meditative and satisfying project) and take inventory so that next week we can fix them (put handles on, etc)! If you go to both sessions, there might be some trailwork credit for you heelers. Leaders: Sam Kernan and Cedar Farwell Cost: $0 cuz its trailwork and we aren't eating snacks anyways Blitz: [log in to unmask] ?Also, WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY THE FEED!!!!!!!!
