Summary
Twenty Eagle Scouts planned a long-weekend project to improve the Blue Trail between Wagner Campground and the Oil Well Site, including construction of five bridges funded by the Trails Fund.
Evidence limits
The report documents the planned project, not completed bridges or later trail conditions.
Open questions
- Were all five bridges built as planned between Wagner Campground and the Oil Well Site, and do they still stand?
- Which Eagle Scout organized the project for his rank, and does a troop record or a later Beacon issue name him?
If you can answer any of these, or correct anything above, the archive wants to hear it — see Corrections.
