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.
