There is a call for people – not government – but people to help with the Big Dig. Volunteers are sought to help construct five miles of “missing link” in the Mountains-to-Sea Trail. The project is organized by the Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail, Watauga Task Force. Work will start at 8:30 both days and continue until the leaders say so. Volunteers are to assemble at Thunderhill Overlook (milepost 290.3, 1.5 miles north of US 321 on the Blue Ridge Parkway). Tools will be provided, but not lunch. Volunteers of all abilities are welcome, as long as they are at least twelve years old.
