This a copy of the Presentation to the Bankhead National Forest Liaison Panel earlier this year about the volunteer efforts of the Sipsey Wilderness Hiking Club to clear the Mitchell Ridge Trail (Trail 210). This presentation will probably require a good connection to the internet. I recently added some captions to some of the slides. There's also a full screen mode if you want to see more detail.

Trail 202 Hike
Since there was a lot rain during the previous week, we changed the hike so that we wouldn't have to cross the Sipsey Fork. The river turned out to be about six feet deep, so crossing it would have been a dangerous and unpleasant undertaking. We visited three nice waterfalls instead. The waterfalls had good flows from the rain. I didn't get good photos of everything, so someone may want to post some additional photos. My few photos are here.Saturday, December 6, 2008
Club Completes December Trail Maintenance on Mitchell Ridge
The Sipsey Wilderness Hiking Club completed monthly trail maintenance on December 6th. With this outing, the club was able to clear the entire trail with the exception of two large downed trees. These last two logs will be removed in January when crosscut saws can be carried in to cut them. Present on this work day were, from left, Durwin Jones, Johnny Morin, Mimi Barkey, Larry Barkey, Mike Henshaw, and Gary White. Click on the photo for a larger version. A link to a GPS track of the Mitchell Ridge Trail, also known as Trail 210, is available here.
