Another government shutdown has been averted... also BONFIRE next Thursday!
February 15th, 2019
Congress has passed a budget that will keep the government funded (and trail work possible for us) until September 30. Rumors are the president is preparing to declare a national emergency, but that (to the best of my knowledge) will not impact our ability to conduct trail work. Let's hope that this is the last time political infighting in Washington prevents us from keeping the Appalachian Trail clear and beautiful.
On a more positive note, we're having a bonfire this Thursday! It'll be a great time, don't miss it. Details here.
