Beth & I joined a BOS trail crew at Walker TF. Had no idea we'd get a paint blazes on trees assignment which proved quite enjoyable. It was a great spring day, as well as Earth Day, to do it. The trail was new (streamered and the path cleared), the work done by a scout with advice. It led to a large beaver pond, dark blue today and sparkling in the midday sun. It ran along the stream emptying the pond. The hemlock forest was attractive, the forest floor clean, the visibility good. Showed good O promise.
The "off-red" color showed poorly on big hemlocks with their brown and rough bark (particularly in shade) - the majority of trees we needed to use. White, yellow, orange would have been fine. Our actual color was spare paint from the trail boss' front door project... This didn't phase
me this time on this beech with its stark contrast. The other crew had orange paint.
