Thank you, Jeff and Tracy Turner, and Valerie Truce for working the Trail Exhibit at the Leprechaun race in March. We hope to actively outreach to the community at 6 to 8 events in 2022. Event outreach is a fun and ideal way to help build support for the Tahoe Pyramid Trail for a 2 to 3 person team.
