A relocation is planned west of Brushy Mtn in Leverett for the Spring/Summer of 1999. The new route will go west from the height-of-land to pass over Hill 1017 and descend an old logging road (shown on USGS Shutesbury quad) to the height-of-land onto Rattlesnake Gutter Road. The new route is shown on 9th edition M-M Trail Guide.

ReportText:	

On April 16, a 3 man trail work party finally cut the relocation over Hill 1017 (See 9th ed. M-M Guidebook, page 64.) The map in the guidebook is now approx. correct as it depicts the trails route on the ground. The relo turns abrubtly left (West) off the old route, crossing a small stream next to an abandoned mill site. The stream offers potable water except during dry periods. The trail utilizes a recently cut ATV trail on good footing and descends to Rattlesnake Gutter Rd.
