Few weeks ago went to my first CORBA trail maintenance, not sure exactly what to expect & just wore shorts, tank top, old fingerless bike gloves. Most everybody else was dressed to the hilt! Long pants, long sleeves, thick full leather gloves, gators, Jeez it seemed like they planning to jump into Poison Oak. Well, the day turned out to be pretty warm and soon most were peeling off the jackets & all were soon sweating up pretty good. I must admit, my legs did get a few small scratches and I was covered with dirt, and a few times I could of used full finger gloves, but I never felt overheated & many people drank all their water & had to rest quite a bit in the shade...
So, now that National Trail Day's is this weekend, I'm wondering if I should "Dress-up" and look the part? (Maybe have shorts, tank top underneath?) I understand that a lot of this depends on the area & trail that will be worked on, the weather, and what specific type of work is going to be done, I guess it's better to be prepared & I can always remove clothing if it gets warm. Other than water, and a lunch for myself I don't want to bring a hamper full of clothes to be hanging off bushes a 1/2 mile away from where Im working.
