Tony and Mike hooked up Fore Mountain Trail as it heads South out of Douthat State Park along Middle Mountain.
Day 2 was a huge job on Warm Springs Mountain. Yes, we had reinforcements join for pizza and beer in Clifton Forge. We stayed at the Trappers Lodge for the night and then we shot North along Little Mare Mountain Trail for a crazy long day clearing the trail. Little Mare is suffering pretty bad from the Gypsy Moth mortality. They killed all the big trees on the ridge for a few miles and all of the saplings have been shooting up and taking over the Trail. Hopefully this clearing job will last more than a few years. Note all of the ATV traffic on the lower slopes of the Trail.
