• Chiyoda trail up date—New reroute in progress. Brush has been cut back. Round up to the area, there was lots of poison ivy. Tree was cut down; stump will need to be removed. A drainage pipe is needed. Jeff still has a piece we could use and will deliver to the site. Chiyoda sign was removed for now and will be replacing to another spot after the gravel is moved. Several volunteers to help. Need some rain and cooler weather to dig the ditch for the pipe.
