Grist Mill trail (Patapsco Avalon) update
From Charlie:
They hit minor roadblocks in Sept. The trail was to be finished last
month. I rode the Grist Mill this weekend because I saw a lot of
activity in the area last week. The bridge is almost done. They were
working on it on Sunday. It should be finished within a week or 2!!
Looks great. Dedication is sometime in November. I’ll post when I
know.
