I did a walk yesterday (Sep 2, 2021) and the trail is completely washed out with debris and too many broken bottles almost as if someone intentionally spread them on the trail. Very sad to see after months of hard work. Count with me to get this trail back and running.

Washed out with huge trees across it and garbage. And some heroin needles. Avoid.
