Comments: A connector trail between Eldo and Walker would be a great addition to the spartan mountain biking around Boulder. I would be very supportive of this moving forward unless the expense was extremely high.... With a connector trail, I'm sure many people would ride Eldo/Walker from town as opposed to driving up to Walker and then riding, thereby saving some foothills traffic and gas....

Comments: Did A-Dog last weekend - a fine adventure. If it's warm, be sure to take advantage of the H2O stash possibilities at the top of P8, P6 and P3! Raps are pretty straight forward with only the 4th rap to the top of P8 requiring some sideways trickery. A new long sling and some clean up on the large flake rap station just above the 2 boulder bivy ledge would be nice. A #4 Camalot is worth its weight for a couple of pitches.
