SUMMARY:Waterfall Trail and Chef Prepared Meals in North Carolina Resort Town\, NC (Week 2!)- Back by Popular Demand
DESCRIPTION:Join Southern Blue Ridge Hikers in beautiful North Carolina to help restore the Chattooga River Trail in the Nantahala National Forest! Enjoy the modern comforts of staying in a recently restored lodge with wifi\, chef prepared meals\, and walking access to the quaint nearby town and local attractions. In your downtime\, volunteers will have time to take a Biological Station Tour\, hike in the nearby National Forest\, and spend every evening gathered around the fireplace in the lodge. \nThe trail work will consist of rebenching the tread (cutting the trail into the hillside) with hand tools. \nThere is no experience needed to join a Volunteer Vacation! Your expert hosts will provide detailed instruction\, tool demonstrations\, and project oversight throughout the week. All you need is a willing attitude and to be in good physical condition to participate in moderate physical activity for approximately 6-8 hours a day with plenty of breaks\, at your own pace. Find out more about what it’s like to join a Volunteer Vacation and other frequently asked questions here. \nSample Schedule:  \nDay 1: Arrival \nTypically meet in the afternoon for check in\, introductions\, orientation\, and camp setup. (Time/place TBD) \nDay 2: Work Day \nEnjoy a hearty breakfast\, pack lunches\, and be on the trail between 8 AM and 9 AM \nLunch and plenty of other breaks will be included. \nWrap up the work day in the late afternoon and head back to camp and enjoy a few hours of daylight for free time. \nReconvene at a chosen time for dinner. \nAfter dinner has been cleaned up\, evenings offer plenty of  time to relax\, sit around the campfire and get to know your fellow crew members\, or enjoy more free time. \nDay 3: Work Day \nDay 4: Rest Day (Specific Day on Trip Will Be Confirmed By Host) \nYour choice! Explore the area\, take a recreational hike\,  tour local attractions\, or hang out at camp. Group excursions can be planned or set-out on your own. \nDay 5: Work Day \nDay 6: Work Day \nDay 7: Departure \nPack up and clean up\, celebrate your accomplishments\, wish each other a fond farewell\, and depart. Please note: This schedule is subject to change due to weather or other circumstances. Any updates will be communicated to the group.

SUMMARY:Waterfall Trail and Chef Prepared Meals in North Carolina Resort Town
DESCRIPTION:Join Southern Blue Ridge Hikers in beautiful North Carolina to help restore a short\, popular trail to a beautiful waterfall in the Nantahala National Forest! Enjoy the modern comforts of staying in a recently restored lodge with wifi\, chef prepared meals (including hot lunch on the trail!)\, and walking access to the quaint nearby town and local attractions. In your downtime\, volunteers will have time to take a Biological Station Tour\, hike in the nearby National Forest\, and spend every evening gathered around the fireplace in the lodge. \nThe trail work will consist of rebenching the tread (cutting the trail into the hillside) on the Glen Falls Trail with hand tools where several sections of the tread have failed due to tread creep (sideways movement off the intended path). \nThere is no experience needed to join a Volunteer Vacation! Your expert hosts will provide detailed instruction\, tool demonstrations\, and project oversight throughout the week. All you need is a willing attitude and to be in good physical condition to participate in moderate physical activity for approximately 6-8 hours a day with plenty of breaks\, at your own pace.
