The 1,100-acre Pinnacle Park west of Asheville remains closed after a runner's foot was impaled by a nail purposely placed on a popular trail that leads to the Black Rock Summit.
Brian Barwatt, an engineer with the Department of Transportation, and the race director of the Assault on Black Rock, a trail race in Pinnacle Park in March, was at the park Monday with the Sylva police chief Davis Woodard, town maintenance workers and other volunteers scouting out more nails.
Since Saturday, 40 nails hammered into tree roots and logs have been found, Barwatt said.
“On Saturday we found eight in an isolated area and thought we had it contained, but when we explored more, we found it was more than we could handle ourselves and I called the police chief,” Barwatt said.
“We’re literally blowing every leaf off trail, and following behind with metal detectors. “It was a deliberate effort. Someone hammered 4-inch long galvanized nails and left them sticking out a half- to 1 inch, and at an angle so they’re like spikes.”
One person was hurt and another stepped on a nail that went through his shoe but didn’t hurt his foot.

Where were these nails when I was in North Carolina?

Guess he's trying to prove a point. But something's definitely wrong in his head.

They should make that fuc#$% walk barefoot through there to find nails.

Something must have galvanized the guy into doing this.

Guy who did it may have been hammered at the time..

Probably an eco terrorist tired of pounding sand...

Someone had to nail those, then cut the nails with wire cutters giving them the tapered tops!
