Fred is a practicing stone mason, and her talents and experience as a Trail crew leader were invaluable in the construction. We also had twelve students from Appalachian State help for 96 more hours, giving a total of 461 hours on this project. Special thanks go to Bob and Pat Peoples, who housed the crew at their Kincora Hostel in Dennis Cove. Special thanks also to the Cunninghams, who donated not only their money, but their muscle as volunteers on this project. A highline cable system is employed to move large rocks uphill.
