Some photos and videos from the trail Sunday. Sunday afternoon was workday at the Keystone Arch Bridges Trail in Chester/Becket/Middlefield and keeping our trails open to hikers is number one priority. The heavy wet blizzards this winter have taken a toll on the Hilltown trails with major blowdowns. From twisted vines to several large Beech trees down, to cutting back growth on top of the 65 and 70 foot arches and the stone retaining wall in the cut, we went to work with our Hilltown Hikers Directors, volunteers and Friends of the Keystone Arch Bridges Trail members. The worst of it was several large hardwoods falling on the pedestrian bridge that obliterated the trail itself along the cement pier, we cut and moved logs to reinforce the banks then rebuilt this section with large rocks. The entire KAB trail is open! Thank you to Russ, Stephanie, Paul, Karen, Greg and Liz Keystone Arch Bridges videos/pics by Paul & Karen Sikes McTaggart
