Yet another fine looking crew, ready to embark south for the first time this season, going to Sand Spring, Virginia. We'll be working on a trail relocation, making new trail from scratch so an old section can be closed down.
We stop for a quick peek at the ATC Headquarters in Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, en route to our work site.
