22 Draft <br /> 1 quickly. It can be hard to if severe weather is happening, when kids are being picked up, things like <br /> 2 that. <br /> 3 <br /> 4 Beth Bronson: I was going to say, there is no severe policy where you cancel camp. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Marty Jorgensen: We do cancel camps for extreme weather. <br /> 7 <br /> 8 Beth Bronson: I just wanted to make sure. I don't assume anybody dislikes that. Like I know that kids want to be <br /> 9 outside, that's fine. But I just want to make sure I'm clear. Since 2017, there hasn't been a structure <br /> 10 built, and that has been what you guys have. The other question I had was that I did see the map <br /> 11 of Brumley South, and it does show some trails over there and specifically a graveyard, the white <br /> 12 trail is called the Graveyard Connector. I wanted to know if those would stay open, are they open <br /> 13 currently? Do they overlap with the 12-acres? <br /> 14 <br /> 15 T.C. Morphis: And just to clarify, I don't want to jump in, but remember Brumley is part of or Brumley is a 600-acre <br /> 16 nature preserve. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 Beth Bronson: Correct. <br /> 19 <br /> 20 T.C. Morphis: So, there are existing trails. I act like I know what I was talking about, Matt, but you were going to <br /> 21 be a better resource. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Beth Bronson: There's the orange trail and then there's that white connector. Cemetery. Yes. Go ahead. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 Matt Rutledge: There is one trail that kind of circles the cul-de-sac, and cuts across it, and then circles the two bulbs. <br /> 26 It is open to the public, so the public can go through there. It is not real heavily used but it is a way <br /> 27 that Schoolhouse can access the rest of the trail system. Because it does connect into the rest of <br /> 28 the trail system. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Beth Bronson: Certainly. Now if, for any reason, they were to become more heavily used, would you guys <br /> 31 reconsider that? Just given that this 12-acres is dedicated to a camp. Or, not at this time? <br /> 32 <br /> 33 Matt Rutledge: I don't think it's been an issue up to now. If Schoolhouse came to us with a complaint and a need 1 <br /> 34 think we would consider that. That trail lies entirely within that 12-acres. So, we could set it aside <br /> 35 just for exclusive use, I guess, but I'm not sure we would want to do that, but we could. We could <br /> 36 consider it in the future. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Beth Bronson: I guess that would be the only thing is that they are going to only become more popular, right? <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Marty Jorgensen: And I would add that though trail that loops. The cul-de-sacs is a hiking only trail and the vast <br /> 41 majority of trails and trail use at Brumley Forest is for mountain bikers. <br /> 42 <br /> 43 Beth Bronson: I saw the white, the cemetery connector that is, and so the kids are not allowed on that one? Are <br /> 44 they not allowed on the bike paths? Or they are allowed? <br /> 45 <br /> 46 Marty Jorgensen: No, they do go on the bike paths. That comment was to say the trail around there. We may see five <br /> 47 hikers over the whole summer. <br /> 48 <br /> 49 Beth Bronson: Certainly. You're more likely to see bikers. <br /> 50 <br /> 22 <br />
