The homwless are back dragging in matress and blankets and much miscellaneous putting an enclosure, then leaving and of course leaving piles of trash Much of th trash looks like items given them so they can live on the streets then they abandon it all and get more items to live elsewhere and leave trash there again. When will this giving to them stop so they have to be in shelters.
I have walked the trail at Latimer Woods at least once a day for the last 4 years. Thanks for providing us with a dirt trail through the woods. Last fall, I believe employees of Parks and Rec. raked the leaves off the trail after they all fell in November. While this may have seemed like a good idea, the trail became treacherous after a rain, freeze/thaw, or snow. Please leave the leaves on the trail. They provide traction, and help prevent erosion. Thanks, Mike Forney
The homeless have again made a large mess along the creek near Patterson. Much of it can be seen from Patterson near the creek and bridge. There are derelict tents, food trash, needles, mattresses,
RCA park dirt perimeter trail has trees blocking trail in different areas, mostly along southern and western edges. From Star View entrance, go clockwise on trail to just past Northwest corner.
Bags of trash were left on trail near Star View entrance of RCA park. They are across trail from sign about old roads.

#92 light is out. I used to simply contact the Pks person in charge of replacing the light bulbs, but I don't know if he is still with Pks!
On the Clear Creek Trail just north of the That Road Trailhead, Nestbox 24 is down. This box been used many years in a row for tree swallows who will be returning to the area soon. I would be happy to repair it myself if you would like me to, but I’m hoping it can be up again by the time the birds are looking for their nest spots.
Trees down. Trail is very soggy. There is evidence of off-path use and illegal dumping. Trail needs attention.
There is a tent in woods by light pole 125. I don’t know if anyone is staying in there or not.
