LOCATION: John Muir Trail from the east end of the JMT reroute to Coker Creek (section
14a). This section needing maintenance is 3 miles long and requires a one mile hike
from the powerhouse to get to it.



LEADER: Ken Jones, 423-745-2451, mkjones@comcast.net. PLEASE NOTIFY KEN IN
ADVANCE ON YOUR INTENTION TO COME SO HE WILL HAVE ADEQUATE TOOLS

WORK PLANNED: We plan to use chain saws and brush cutters as well as swing blades
and loppers to remove several trees across the trail and brush out the trail. We want to
get this section of trail in spiffy shape before the fun hike planned for early November.



MEETING LOCATION AND TIME: US 441 and TN 30 intersection at 8 AM. Park in the lot
across TN 30 from the convenience store. We will take as few cars as possible to the
powerhouse parking area.
