Scaffold is neat, there is scaffold going up around the Garfield Monument, which is being cleaned. For a couple of weeks, the entrance will be closed; after that visitors can return while outside work will continue. There is an information tent nearby. We came with the hounds Friday, the guy there was happy to see us. He was bored, and once had a saluki. A family from out of town came by next, they expressedly came to tour the monument and were disappointed.

Before the scaffolding went up, a drone counted sixteen trees growing on the monument. Tuck pointing will be done.
