Dry Brook Ridge & German Hollow Trail Maintenance, Sunday, June 4 10:00 AM

Join Laura Battelani, CMC Board Member, and David Lucas, NY/NJ Trail Conference volunteer as they maintain their adopted trails. After meeting at the car wash in Margaretville, we will drive to the Hill Rd. Trailhead and climb approximately 1500 feet moderately and do light trail clearing, making sure things are tidy on Dry Brook Ridge. We'll then hike the ridge, passing by a 700-year-old bog, and arrive at a beautiful lookout of the Pepacton Reservoir from almost 3500 ft. of elevation. We will relax here and have midday lunch, with beautiful western views of the Western Catskills. In the afternoon, we will return on the German Hollow Trail, maintaining along the way. Pack lots of water and your lunch and snacks. Wear comfortable layers. Bring a hat, bug spray, and rain gear.Event Duration: 6 miles, 7 hoursLevel of Difficulty:  Moderate-DifficultLeader: Laura Battelani, CMCBring: Water, lunch/snacks, sturdy hiking boots, rain gear.  Wear comfortable layers.
