A few years ago I adopted a section of the Garfield Ridge Trail, from Mount Lafayette to Mount Garfield, part of the
Appalachian Trail in the
White Mountains. Exactly what it means to "adopt" a trail is a bit of a mystery to most people who ask me about it. Basically, it means I have agreed to take care of the basic trail maintenance. A recent post in the
AMC Trails Blog (click) explains it very well.
The
next post (click) in that blog, honors Barbara Kukla as the Trails Volunteer of the Month. She was the previous adopter of my section of trail . . . for
20 YEARS! I hope I do as good a job taking care of the trail as she did.
Here are a few shots from my trail:

Can we hike it the next time I'm up for a visit? It looks gorgeous.
Absolutely! It's a little longer than the usual hike we do for the corn roast, but it's not too difficult.
