During week 6, both crews joined together to form a super crew to work with the Mt Rogers AT Club. They packed up their packs, grabbed trail tools and hiked up to the Mount Rogers high country for a week in the backcountry.

Thanks to the USFS for bringing supplies up to the high country and to Anne Maio of MRATC for watching over it before the crews arrived. Unlike a typically Konnarock week, these volunteers camped out a way from cars and civilization – but in the company of many “wild” ponies!

| Hard at work, but having fun! |
The popular high country’s unique geology and soil type leave it prone to trail braiding and erosion. The crews went to work hardening sections of the trail, eliminating social trails, and installing rock steps and water bars to prevent further erosion.
