Representatives from each of GMC’s 14 sections station themselves at LT trailheads and road crossings to provide information, company, or edible encouragement to thru- and day-hikers as they make their way along the trail. We will set up on the Arlington-Stratton Road at Kelley Stand. May combine with Friday night trail magic at Story Spring Shelter. Contact leader for details.
