Comments
Comments: One trail maintenance item of note: Holt Trail just west of the Croo Bridge now has a definite herd path for 20-30 feet on the left-hand (upper) edge in an effort to avoid the typically wet section of trail there. While it may serve to keep one's boots dry for a few feet, the herd path is rapidly eroding the edge of the trail.
