Eagle Scout project Ross D improves our walking trail to the cemetery. Another Eagle Scout project a success. Calling all hikers, come check out our walking path to the backside of the memorial cemetery. Ross D gives his team a safety brief and about 20 helpers clear the way for an enjoyable trek to the top of the hill from the Picnic area left of the Pavilion. The Red trail for bikes crosses so be careful.
