This is a weekend for us to do what the club was set up to do! We’ll maintain our assigned section of the Appalachian Trail, the Mau-Har Trail, the White Rocks Falls trail, plus more! Come out to our basecamp at Sherando Lake Recreation Area on Friday as early as noon, and set up your tent at the Williams Branch Picnic Area. Keep in mind that the gate is usually locked at 10 PM and opens on Saturday morning at 6 AM. If the gate is staffed, let them know you are with TATC to assist with AT maintenance and that you will not be charged an entry fee. Crew signup sheets will be available on Friday; Saturday organizational meeting at 7:45 AM. Optional hikes are typically available on Sunday.
