Hikers, horsemen and mountain bikers teamed up to work on the Carr Mountain section of the Great Eastern Trail on April 6-7. Fourteen volunteers, led by Tom Johnson, President of the Great Eastern Trail Association, assembled at Blue Hole and made their way to the German River trailhead near Criders. With the help of 4 mules who carried tools to a remote section of trail, the group was able to make substantial progress on digging sidehill.
