Lone Ranger

We always meet the ranger when ever we go up Greylock in the spring of fall. I was surprised to see him up there today. They are working on the road and he comes up to check trails etc. He said the day before he hiked in 3 miles with a chain saw ,to clear out a blow down ,on one of the trials ! He is amazing in my opinion. Today its about 3 below at the campground and he is out going about his business, fixing a sign down the trail. He is dedicated and loves this mountain,we talk at length about the campground and the changes he has seen over the years. He said the road is coming along nicely with repairs at one problem spot taking a while. I told him I have never been up the road and he laughs. We hike up to see the new bridge repairs and check out the concrete they had poured the day before. The road is covered with solid ice and the equipment has huge chains on all the tires. It must be like working in Alaska some days up here in the winter.
