[MAIPC] stilt grass mowing

[Marian Orlousky]

We had a lot of success along the A.T. with a late August cutting last
year.  This season it appears to be a bit further along and at the moment
it looks like the perfect time to cut.  I started just this past weekend on
my own property. I wouldn't push it too much longer.
