Thirteen Tramps and a helpful Carpenter Road loving non-Tramp spent several hours doing trail maintenance on the Carpenter Road ski/hike/snowshoe trails that the club has helped maintain for many years. The weather gods smiled on us, providing comfortable temperatures and no rain despite a bit of spitting encountered on the drive to the site. Two groups covered either 4 or 6 miles of trail, leaving them vastly improved via their efforts by tossing, trimming and sawing. Jan and Hugh will return and replace intersection maps before the ski season so that navigation is never in doubt.

We were especially lucky to have John Gilbert participate in the cleanup as he lead the very first Tramp and Trail maintenance at Carpenter Road and performed admirably as trail steward for many years. John’s encyclopedic recollection of past outings at Carpenter Road made a great day even more enjoyable.

Thanks to all who came out and enjoyed a productive day with us.

Jan & Hugh
