There will not be attendants and we probably won't flood anymore this winter. If the weather holds we will try to sweep them for a while. The sun really takes a toll on the north ends and it is warming up so this is short lived at best. d) County Road 10 Trailway Project: Segments 9&10 Project Update —Bids for this project were received on February 8, 2007.
