Just Curious 9/1/2012 2:32:50 PM ReportI walk a lot out there with my dog and have said from the very first time, there is not enough signage to let you know where you are or where you are going. The same applies to the conservation area. Any one who hasn't been there a few times can get lost very easily. My last wife who knew the area really well got lost a couple of times when we were out there. A few signs would save a hell of a pile of resources.
bustinout 9/1/2012 5:55:50 PM ReportI totally agree. I would love to enjoy the trails more but I hesitate because Im afraid of getting lost! I usually wait until a friend of mine asks me to go; unlike me she knows her way around there and she has a big friendly dog who likes to come along to sniff the trees!
Sam C 9/1/2012 6:26:28 PM ReportJC... I certainly agree that signage would help, although I do wonder if people would respect the signs. Too often I have seen signs defaced and ripped down.
