Note that these are
bound markers for the AT corridor,
not trail markers. In other words, they mark the extent of the right of way on either side of the trail and may be several hundred yards from the trail.
A good example of the corridor marking is the little cleared swath you cross when you whack from South Crocker to Redington. This is the boundary for the AT land, not the trail.
Most times there is no swath, but the markers are out there. I know a surveyor who set these markers a few years back near Killington when the AT had just gotten title to the land. Maybe he set that one.
I also tried to whack from the AT up to Little K and thence to Mendon a few years back. It was a hot day and it was so thick I soon gave it up. I had done the traditional route to Mendon previously which was much easier going. I was check
ing out this route just "for the fun of it". NOT!
