• Stimulus Money for ST Trail Maintenance
Author: Traildust
Posted: Wed Jul 21, 2010 10:28 pm (GMT -5)
I have found out that almost $150,000.00 of stimulus money was used to have a contractor come in from Whitley City and do trail maintenance from Cumberland Falls south to 4.6 miles south of US 27, from Big South Fork NRRA Boundary to the Ky Tennnessee line.
Don't know for sure when it starts but it is for t...rail clearing, tree removal etc. Folks if you are down that way keep an eye out for how your money is being spent and let us know if you notice a difference. This is about 30 miles of the Sheltowee Trace.
Additional sections of other trails in the Stearns District were also in the contract.

• kayak

What are the advantages/disadvantages of these kayak tie-down techniques?
I see some people carry kayaks strapped flat to the roof/roof rack while others put the kayaks on their sides. I have a standard SUV roof rack (not a kayak rack) and I am wondering which way I should secure my kayak. I use locking cam straps and have laid the kayak flat in the past, but I'm open to change if there is better way. Any suggestions?

How was it? Did you do some time on the Sheltowee over the 4th? Share how it went - where you went - the trail conditions.

• TABA Sighting

Taba - Scott Ward has crossed I-64 today and will be done in no more than two days. He is doing well. We dropped him some water. Reminder there is little water north of Morehead so pack accordingly. Dry Branch has a faucet on the fence line of the Clark Farm that is open to hikers, biker use.

• Bear Attack in RRG
Author: Traildust
Posted: Sun Jun 27, 2010 7:47 pm (GMT -5)
From WLEX Channel 18 website.
A man was taken to the hospital Sunday afternoon after being mauled by a bear while hiking in Wolfe County.
It happened around 2:30 along Tunnel Ridge Road. Witnesses tell LEX 18, a few couples were walking along a trial, when one of the men fell behind. When the others turned around to check on him, a black bear was standing in front of him. We're told the man picked up a stick and the bear attacked. The others ran up and began hitting the bear with their backpacks.
The man's leg was mauled and he was taken to the hospital in Irvine and later transported to UK Hospital, reportedly in sta... continues

Seeking a oldschool boat, for an oldschool boater. Downriver yaks are about gone, but I'm starting to see a few new designs nowadays. Anyway, if you know anyone that might have an old response stuck back in the barn or garage, give me a call.

• Worthless Board Member

As far as teleconferences go, it appears that I am totally useless as a board member. It's my fault too.
Since I have'nt made a call in meeting recently, I would like to volunteer on a project here in my area. I make an excellent flunky, and have plenty o' regional contacts.
I think I could help with the reroute (or proposed reroute) between Arvel and Heidleburg. I might actually have one of the reasons for the confusion on the trail location currently. Whoever is heading this project up, please send me a pm.
Thanks

• TRIP REPORT - HWY 27 TO BARK CAMP CREEK
Author: rootman
Posted: Wed Jun 16, 2010 6:07 pm (GMT -5)
We are 61 and 51 year old backpackers section-hiking the ST and trying to finish before we die. This 3 day venture was actually two trips. We parked at the Cumberland Falls parking lot on June 12th for a shuttle (Sheltowee Trace Outfitters -- $40) to Hwy 27. We camped one night and stayed in the lodge the second night because the heat (91 degrees) had us pretty wiped out. The second trip was another shuttle ride from the Cumberland Falls parking lot to the "top" of the Bark Camp Creek trail (Sheltowee Trace Outfitters -- $30). For that one we had just daypacks. Some observations:
1. The trail is easy to follow. Kudos to the Fore... continues
