(Priority 1). Trail 105: Install a connector trail from 105 to 1D; Tom has marked a proposed trail with cairns that would break up the long run of the trail 105 and create a shorter loop. (Priority 2). Trail 201: There is a large headcut that is creeping toward the trail; a relatively easy fix would be to put deadfall in. (Priority 3). Trail 201: Picnic tables—move them to shady spots (Priority 3). Trail 401: The long descent on the northern side is over 30% and has erosion issues.
