It would also be great if the Indian Spring redevelopment would include a trail connection from the Mathew Henson trail (which begins just to the northwest and goes all the way to Rock Creek Park) to the Northwest Branch trail on the eastern edge of the redeveloped area and Wheaton Regional Park/Sligo Creek trail (which extend all the way to Prince George's County).Casey Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13257605906533365614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-5146131890248728592009-09-24T12:02:17.003-04:002009-09-24T12:02:17.003-04:00I've titled the Indian Spring 09 Photos so you...I've titled the Indian Spring 09 Photos so you can get some sense of the holes...
