NON-OCSJ  EVENT WATER TRAIL MARKERS MAINTENANCE

There is a Park Service volunteer who is looking for another kayaker to help him maintain the mileage markers on the Pine Barrens Rivers in Bass River and Wharton.  He is one of the folks that did them originally. It could be a different helper each day and he anticipates needing help for 8 days or so.
