adopted, starting at FR 124 and working east.  We will use loppers and swing blades to clear

weeds from the trail.  Be prepared for warm weather and ticks.  This is a short work day because

of the meeting, so we should be through by noon.

overgrowth.  Thanks for caring about the trail and those who use it.
