June 3, 2015 PATC Trail Patrol One-on-One Training

The following pictures are from the day I did PATC Trail Patrol new member training for Greg F.

.

The following signage located at the intersection of Old Rag, Weakley Hollow, and Berry Hollow fire roads AKA PO Junction shows all the area interior to the area bounded by Weakley Hollow Fire Road, the Ridge Trail and the Saddle Trail to be a NO CAMPING AREA.     I do not believe this signage is correct but until it is fixed folks may want to play it safe and abide by it.    If I see any SNP published information that says that it is incorrect I will post it on my blog but in the meantime it is what is being displayed at SNP's PO Junction information display.
