In addition to many, many other projects, CONC VP Sue Sullivan has been busy working on upgrading trail markers. Here is her report:
We have had many people comment that the trail markers we are using are not always visible. There have been several suggestions that we either change the color of the reflective patch, change the way we put reflective tape on the markers, or change the color of the marker. The Forest Service requires us to use blue markers, but we have flexibility on the shade and also on the reflective tape color and pattern. So . . . we have put up some ‘test patterns’ on the trail that runs past Swampy shelter, to the east of the shelter.
