Comments
Comments: We went out for a half a presi and to do brushing on edmands col cut-off trail. We did 3 hours worth of work to the trail that looks abandoned… the spring is still flowing well with great water! We cleared to old cuts and was crazy to see the ground! We cleared just past the spring as we took a break we watched the group of 5 not look so happy with the trail just past it and we apologized for the rest of the trail as we did not have time to get to it today. We tried to make it clear to see which way to go. Hopefully can come back here to finish up the work but great gully still needs to be finished.
Lots of people out today but beautiful day for it.
