TAMARANCHO NEWS (trail map available here)
(link to Boy Scouts website)
The 2007 Tamarancho trailwork season has come to a close, but lots of great progress has been made this year. Storm damage from last year was still being addressed this season, but some other long term projects have been completed Included are the addition park spec. signs at all intersections. These signs were hand built and installed by members of the Forest Knolls Freewheelers, (Thanks Randy and Steve-O !), and we owe them many thanks for bringing the signs up to snuff. Please report any damage or unsafe conditions at Tamarancho to us here: btcjim@comcast.net
