Mike,
One active crew. But we do have a trail volunteer, Pam Gibson, down in McQuerry Co. who works on her own on a section of trail and gets help from friends etc. She also is the one who uses prisoners to keep the trail open.
The Ridge Runner Trail Crew is our first effort. They have responsibilty for the Trace from NT to Hwy 460. Rowan Co, Bath Co., Menifee Co..
Then there is crew #2 which runs from Natural Bridge to Turkeyfoot /McKee at Hwy 421. At this time I am attempting to recruit a Trail Crew Leader and members.
Crew #3 runs from Hwy 421 to I-75
Crew #4 runs from I-75 to Cumberland Falls SP
Crew #5 runs from Cumberland River Bridge KY90 to NPS boundary at Big Creek.
Crew #6 runs from NPS boundary to Pickett SP and Southern Terminus.
As you can see, we continue to work these issues mostly with individual volunteers until the STA can get the resources to send the director into these areas and work with a crew leader and volunteers to set up crew training, schedules, etc.
But we are doing well with the first crew, thanks to you and all the other volunteers. Hope this answers your question and if someone else reads this and wants to be a crew leader or crew member in one of these zones, please let me know.
Steve "traildust" Barbour
Executive Director, STA
