Ozark Trail Service: Sept 25-Oct 1

The American Hiking Society has another Volunteer Vacation sponsored by the Ozark Trail Association. Work will be on the Middle Fork section of the Ozark Trail. The much anticipated completion of this section will open up 200 miles of continuous trail through Missouri. Volunteers will tent camp at the Council Bluff Recreation Area 20 miles southwest of Potosi, Missouri. The crew will drive to the work site each morning. The hike in will be one-half mile or less. Food is provided. The cost is $120 ($95 for members of the AHS). Additional work events can be found on the official OT website.
