The CORBA crew will be working on the Valley Forge Trail and if we have enough people we can send a group down the Gab below Red Box to work on the eroded areas where some trail users are making shortcuts.

Valley Forge? Hans, can I kill me some more Yuccas? By the way, Fucca is still doing very well on my porch.

Oh yeah plenty Yuccas left growing into that trail! There are also a few slides to clean up.

We could bring our bikes and ride down. Then take the fire road out or if we are feeling it ride the Gab back up to Red Box.
