Our Trail Crew has literally been between a “roc Our Trail Crew has literally been between a “rock and a hard place”. There have been no easy outs on the section of trail they’ve been building. Pictured are rock pavers strategically placed on a steep and rock littered slope. A very remote area which means no access for side by sides or machinery to do this work for them. Trail users will sincerely appreciate the hand built path as they traverse across the otherwise impassable backcountry ⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️ 📸: @shauna_wilson1980 #cumberlandtrailsconference #webuildtrails #cumberlandtrail #cumberlandtrailstatepark #cumberlandtrailsst #tnstateparks #cumberlandplateau #sustainabletrails #trailbuilders #trailbuilderslife #rockwork #rocksteps #rheacountytn #springcitytn #hikethect #handbuilttrails

More beautifully placed stone steps and pavers don More beautifully placed stone steps and pavers done by our talented and hard working trail crew. This is all being done in very remote areas where our crew has to 4x4 in and then walk a very long way to the worksite each day. There is no access for a side by side or machinery to do this work for them. 💪 We think hikers will appreciate this detailed hand work as they navigate these trails in the near future. ⚒️💪⚒️💪⚒️💪⚒️💪⚒️💪⚒️💪⚒️💪 📸: @shauna_wilson1980 #cumberlandtrailsconference #webuildtrails #cumberlandtrail #cumberlandtrailstatepark #cumberlandtrailsst #tnstateparks #cumberlandplateau #sustainabletrails #trailbuilders #trailbuilderslife #rockwork #rocksteps #rheacountytn #springcitytn #hikethect #handbuilttrails

When we said STEEP terrain…. We were dead seriou When we said STEEP terrain…. We were dead serious. Imagine the skill it took in placing these stone steps into place on that grade! Not only is this dangerous work for our crew members…. it’s tedious and takes a lot of time.

Yesterday alongside @responsiblestewardship & @tva Yesterday alongside @responsiblestewardship & @tva we celebrated the 90th birthday of Tennessee Valley Authority by cleaning up a 1 mile section at Shut In Gap Rd in Spring City. Here are the numbers: • 35 volunteers • 105 vol. hours • 41 tires removed • 4 mattresses • 1 couch • 4,066 lbs of litter removed!! TOGETHER we were able to make our outdoor spaces a better place to recreate and the Spring City area a better place to live. HUGE thanks to @normanmccowan and @thearrowheadresort for providing lunch for all volunteers! Thanks to Rhea County for providing the dumpster for this cleanup.
