Over the Memorial Day Weekend I had the pleasure of trading in my office tools for trail maintenance tools. Volunteering for an Appalachian Trail Work crew is one of my favorite ways to relieve stress. And it is most effective. I spent a full day working with the Konnarock crew on a trail relocation near …
