Therefore we are offering a Friday/Saturday overnight trail working trip , with a ridgeline campsite with dark night skies.

Friday - leave Blacksburg and get up to site, a few miles of hiking involved, but we should be able to shuttle most of the camping gear and tools up in a vehicle. 1/2 day of trail work.

Saturday - a full day of trail work along the Peter's Mountain ridgeline with pick-ups at extraction trailheads (one-way trail work, no need to double back). We'll return to campus by 5pm Saturday.
