We would need a parking area at the end of Armijo Drive, preferably on the Girl Scout land. We would then build a switchback trail to the Forest Service property. The area would need to be fenced to protect the Girl Scout property. Michael Dean said he discussed with the Village an option to do this in exchange for water lines. Tracy Orr said she would investigate this with the supervisor of the water department. X. Requests and Responses from the Audience-None XI.
