Week 1 - A Success!!

New Konnarock banner quilted by longtime volunteer Martha! 

The Konnarock Crew is at it again!  Week one kicked off on May 10th, with both Crews 1 and 2 working in the beautiful Mt Rogers high country  in Grayson Highlands State Park with the Mt Rogers Appalachian Trail Club.  They put in 31 locust steps and two rock channels just south of the Quebec Branch Bridge, as well as rock steps on the AT and along the AT spur trail up from the Backpackers' parking lot. Thanks to the State Park staff for help with transporting all the locust!

Check out Base Camp!

Thinking about signing up for the Konnarock Trail Crew, but not sure what to expect when you get there?!

Here's a short tour of base camp.... Enjoy :)

Welcome!

The pavilion - where we eat meals if it's too cold or rainy to be outside. There's also a ping pong table and community computer.

The Kitchen! Full of delicious food and snacks!

Recycling!

Inside a cabin - we like to call them pods!

Cabins or "pods" at base camp where you'll stay the night you arrive and the night before you head home.

Hope to see you at base camp this year! Don't forget to sign up for a Konnarock crew week!

The experiences of working together, learning new skills and backcountry living make an unbeatable combination of fun. No experience is necessary, but you must be 18 years or older. The Appalachian Trail Conservancy provides training, equipment, and room and board. Crews are transported in U.S. Forest Service vehicles from Sugar Grove to a primitive, backcountry tent camp near the project site.
