[AnnettePoore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

The Saltville Loop of Clinch Mountain Trail is posted with temporary signs so 
that regional birders may use the trail until the grant monies come thru to 
construct the "official" trail.  The Town Manager, Jeff Smith, has promised to 
keep the trail mowed perodically for our use.  The trail heads up beside the 
Dollar General store and runs behind the well field ponds.  It loops back 
around a gravel lane to Lake Drive.  Birders walk back up Lake Drive (aka the 
well 
fields road) between the ponds to the Dollar General store.  The trail is a 
flat, easy walk.  There is one fork in the trail which is posted to direct 
birders to the left fork.  Should you end up at the fitness trail, go back and 
take 
the other left fork!  

Be sure to allow some extra time to visit the Museum of the Middle 
Appalachias while in town.  

Enjoy birding Saltville,
