Trails are now clear! We removed dozens and dozens of blow downs of all sizes with a chainsaw and hand-saws. On Israel Ridge the upper ladder has new rungs and a new staircase has been built and there are new several stone stairways too build this sumemr. |

| Comments: |
We were part of the Randolph Mountain's Club's volunteer workday that was called because of the damaged caused by the tropical storm on Halloween. There were 4 chainsaw operators and each was paired with two volunteers and sent off on different routes. A lot of blow downs were removed all over the RMC trail systems on Saturday. |
