The crew worked hard weeks 6 & 7 and got a lot accomplished, finishing up the Hanging Rock rehab. Along with help from the TATC club, the crew put in 50+ rock steps!! They also installed a few waterbars to help get water of the trail and put in some rock cribbing to help support the tread. They camped at Maupin Field shelter where they had the chance to hang out with a lot of hikers coming through. Overall it was a great couple of weeks!

Week 6 the crew headed down to Roan with the Tennessee Eastman Hiking Club where they were working on a set of relocations and dug over 1000 feet of new sidehill! Whew! Great work crew 1!! They camped near Overmountain Shelter where they enjoyed the beautiful view and the company of many other hikers. Week 7 for crew 1 was spent at the Bluff City Relocation just south of Pearisburg. The crew dug 800 feet of sidehill, did some rehab, and put in a rock steps as well. They enjoyed a nice dinner with the folks at Woods Hole Hostel to celebrate the 4th of July!
