Thanks  also to the
Montgomery County Parks & Planning Commission volunteers  who were busy this
morning trimming back foliage overhanging the  trail.

Hi again,
 I noticed the trail trimmings from about the "green tunnel" on to the
parking lot, wondering who had cut so many branches. My thought was that it was
someone riding on a horse, but I see now I was wrong. In any event, this and the
 frequent trail mowings make Blue Mash one of the best maintained parks in
the  county (though a trash can in the parking lot wouldn't hurt). Certainly
Layhill  Park could use some work, as they haven't even mowed the very short
north trail  at all this summer, and the south trail never sees any maintenance
unless I  get in there with amachete and pruners, which I don't think I will do
this  year.
