PURPLE HEART TRAIL - In case you haven’t noticed the
Purple Heart Trail project has a real success. Tim Haley and Chuck Ward have
a great job in making this happen. We must be amid a period of
increased public support for the US Military forces; everyone Tim & Chuck talk to wants to jump aboard to support the
installation and maintenance of the stream of “Purple Heart” road signs that
are now stretching from San Miguel to the SLO County border at Santa Maria.
