Surveyor Name:	Anonymous Surveyor
Trail description:	Agree mostly with the LPFA from February - thank you! Some areas need a little work - don't think they were able to do the work in April like they said in their report, but I could be wrong. Also, maybe a couple of the very steep short sections and those right around creek bottoms could use some trail defining or a little work.
