Some John Calhoun Reports:
AHTS Pinhoti Flagg Mt. trail building work week. Nov.3-7, Mon-Fri.
My stats: total time = 42 hrs., drive time = 7 hrs., 335 miles. AHTS group built about 1.5 miles of trail in 4 days, 5th day was in Coosa WMA doing mtce., Some of Rick G's edited details are reprinted below:

Monday, Nov. 3rd
Kent C, Edwin M, John C, Hunt C and Rick G cut in 0.3 mile of new trail at Flagg Mtn. going north.

Nov.4, 2014
Durwin J, Edwin M, Kent Cr, Larry W, Andy B, John C and Rick G built an additional 0.25 mile of trail. Adding to what we did yesterday the total is a half mile of new trail in two days!It was a beautiful day with mild temperatures. The views from the ridges was extraordinary. Around 3:15 PM we hiked to the old CCC road where the trail will be located. From a high place we saw the Weogufka River and the distant mountains where we worked last March.

Thursday Nov. 6, 2014
Edwin M, Larry W and Durwin J worked on the new Flagg Mtn. to Weogufka Trail. They cut in another 3/10's of a mile of new trail. Doug D from Forever Wild joined this crew to help build the new trail.

The intersection of the purple and blue trails at the center of section 14 on the map above. The blue trail is on an old ridge road which continues south to views and camping spots. This is where the Flagg Tower Terminus and the Picnic Pavilion Terminus routes join and form an uncontested Pinhoti Trail.

CCC Stone Trail Cribbing
Descending from the above benches into the canyon in which on the map above the 700' contour is labeled, the side hill trail is cribbed with stones, probably by the CCC crew building the beach portion of the State Park at Flagg Mountain. I remember Kent C telling me about exploring the Pinhoti route which seemed most likely from the map, and being thrilled to find that the CCC people had agreed with him on routing and actually built that section of trail!
