Wild Rose along the AT

This is the Friday before our "3rd Saturday of the month" work trip - let's hope the AT didn't wash/blow away after yesterday's severe storms. The weather is looking good and there should be one or two (at least) crew reports from tomorrow so check back to see what we found post-storm and what we worked on.  In the meanwhile, here are some of the interesting Facebook posts over the last week:
