Sitting here at my desk reading over the most recently posted blog it only makes sense to put some faces to the Mohican Volunteer Trail Crew.
Alex wrote a wonderful entry about the workshop experience that was provided by Alex and Sara a couple of weekends ago but here are some pictures of everyone learning and hard at work on the trail during the workshop.
Flying rocks. Sara helping Quint & Greg to solidly place rocks for water bar.
Creating a Turnpike.
Before Photos of the site - lots of water on the trail!

Job well done!
This past weekend was the Mohican Volunteer Trail Crew's opening weekend for their season of trailwork up at the Delaware Water Gap. After all the rain this past weekend I hope all the volunteers are at home drying out and relaxing tonight. Thanks for your hard work this weekend!

Jennifer: To kick off this season's trail crew 21 great volunteers enjoyed a great weather day on Saturday. We were proud to discover the only part of the trail that had no water on it was the section we worked on 2 weeks earlier. This time Rock work continued and wood was harvested for a 15foot log bridge and Lumber carried in for a 12foot Pressure treated bridge. On Sunday Mother Nature gave us the day off but a few of us went to check on what we did on Saturday. We were proud to discover the new projects were keeping the water off the trail as well. We have given this section of trail a nickname. It is now known as "School" since we are using many different methods. We hope this work will be used to show others the different types of projects that can be done to rebuild a trail like this. A small crew of us are going back on Saturday and Sunday April 28 and 29 to finish the two bridge projects.
