Hi Joe,

Sorry to not have responded sooner.

Thanks for your feedback. Do you live here in Western MA? I ask because ideally we should meet at Mt. Tom State Reservation to hike the Bray Valley Trail. I have plans for another bog bridge, as well as trail work.

Will then tell you more about efforts to start a Friends Group.

Let’s get together soon,

Elbert
