Ida FS. First of all she wanted me to tell you all THANK YOU for helping on the ERL! I asked for a update on the trail conditions. First of all it is early in the game on the damage assessment. What she told me was a good educated guess. She feels like the Athens Big Fork to the Little Mo Falls trail head will be open soon. From the Little Mo Falls to Winding Stairs up the Viles Branch will probably remain closed for a while. As soon as possible ...

Main objective is to complete approximately 10 miles / day for six days as a JMT shake down of gear and camp routine. Since the trail is around 27 miles I'll overlap it by 3 miles to get in roughly 60 miles. I also hope to take more than snap shots along the way and some video to create an interactive map of the ERL later this summer.

We were due a hike anyway, me 'n my buddy Kat, around that time so we spent a day humping limbs instead of a pack. They assigned us on a crew clearing up a section of the Pigeon Roost Loop - so we had to add it to our list of trails to hit. Only problem is that it is short.

I introduced my two daughters to the Winding Stairs Trail. I've always wanted to stay in this area for a few days so we camped two nights. It was warm during the day, but the water was refreshingly cool. The girls did great on the trip and gained some new skill sets; water crossings and treating water.

You and your group can adopt a section of the ERL to maintain. Right now this is kinda loosely organized. I would suggested that everyone should agree to work on their "sections" at least twice a year. I would think that all would agree that anytime that you hike you can notice things that need to be done at anyplace on the trail and report it. One thing for sure must be done is that everyone, even large ...
