Sign near church lane points to trailblazer challenge on OuterSpatial but only thing under challenges is about fishing We believe the sign mentioned is located where the Clear Creek Trail turns into the Limestone Greenway. The Trailblazer Challenge yard sign belongs to Monroe County Parks and Recreation, who also use the OuterSpatial mobile app. Monroe County Parks has not updated their app challenges in a while. Nat Resources Coordinator Rebecca Swift contacted Monroe County Parks Assistant Director John Robertson so he is aware outdated yard signs are still out on their trails.

A few weeks ago, I noticed that there were some limestone slabs put on the rail trail entrance near Gordon Pike to keep away the cars that I had seen driving back there. Then I went on a run with my dad back there and we noticed that all of the tents seemed to be gone. I was excited that it seemed like that area was being cleaned up, however people are back to living on the newer trail that runs parallel to the rail trail. There have been only two incidents where I have tried to run on the rail trail and turned around both times because I felt unsafe. Both times, I heard someone yelling sounding agitated from the encampment on the trail. I would love to run on the Rail Trail because it is a beautiful trail and perfectly shaded for hot summer runs, but I just don't feel safe. I realize that this is a bigger issue to solve, but it is just frustrating to me that I cannot utilize that trail, even if I am with someone else, because I just don't feel safe. It is disappointing that Bloomington has beautiful parks and trails that people don't want to use because they feel unsafe.
