[Hide Comment] Is this one of the two routes were the hangers have been removed? Or is one of them just unpublished? Apr 22, 2021

[Hide Comment] This one should be fine. Chantal’s Starfish and it’s neighbor (not published here) were stripped. FA is from Colorado, so I don’t see them fixing it anytime soon. Apr 23, 2021
