Why would you want to move the trail closer to the parking lot?

Yea, I guess that shoulder area of the road is too difficult to find and walk on. So lets move the trail. Focus on a problem that needs attention like the slab area!

Great poster Meadows !!! We will be working on the slab area if we have enough volunteers. That part of the work will take at least 10 people.

Maybe. I can not always give my time as freely as I give my opinion. Unfortunately.
