     April 17 was the next extra fine day. Off we went to Appin Road, 
     
     Beth Robinson and I, with orange paint, brush, and snowshoes. Beth 
     
     went ahead to locate the trail markers; I followed and marked trees 
     
     along what appeared to be the path of least resistance. At Green's 
     
     Brook there was a large flow of water which we did not attempt to 
     
     cross. Climbing the 250 ft. rise in the mile back to the Appin Road 
     
     is the wrong direction to walk that section of trail - especially 
     
     on soggy snowshoes. It was good to find only about six trees down 
     
     across the trail even though this section had not been cleared up 
     
     last year. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Starting Monday, May 15 before the flies get out and each fine 
     
     evening following, we intend to have walks on the trail and clear off 
     
     branches and trees that have fallen. For the first walks we should 
     
     meet at 6 p.m. at St. Catherines at the junction of the road from 
     
     West River Bridge and the West River Road, and then proceed to points 
     
     westward. Please phone 894—9595 if you would like to join these 
     
     expeditions. You may become a TRAIL ADDICT!
