The October 5, 2021 work detail crew started up the trail towards Gorton work site. On the way we were treated to a large Eagle sitting along side the stream looking for breakfast. The fall colors and beautiful weather made the Laurel Falls so pretty on this gorgeous day. Andy Basalla started cleaning ditches while the contractor was brushing between Mile Marker 56 and 57. Snow Shoe Township Supervisor, Rodney Preslovich came out to check on the brushing and cleaning of the ditches. The smaller brushing machine did make it's way to almost Peale Tunnel, trimming back some of the lower brush. However, the larger machine with the Flail mower broke down as bearings went out ruining the drive belts. Gary Halsnik brought us all hoagies from Newman's Sandwich Shop for lunch. After lunch, Andy Basalla and Larry Mayes worked to clean various ditches. It was not a productive day as far as the brushing but to have the opportunity to work on the trail on such a beautiful day was so rewarding. We also want to thank Dennis Corman for allowing the contractor to park the equipment in his yard. So nice to have such wonderful trail neighbors.
