We have a new membership category -- a business sponsorship is available and our first sponsor is Placer Electric Inc. Thank you very much. If you are interested in a business sponsorship, please contact Sue Crum, Larry Mobley, Jim Larimer or Lori Lunsford for details.
New FTA brochures will be available in April. Contact any of the board members for copies. Keep a few at home for distribution to new friends and neighbors and a copy or two in your pack or saddle bag for those chance encounters along the trail.

Spring is here and this is a wonderful time of the year to enjoy our trails. Please send in your trail scouting reports.
Community hikes have been very popular and the FTA will host several this spring and summer.

Patent Road Staging Area Update
The proposal is almost ready. Final details and measurements will be completed shortly and then onto County approval. As soon as we get the official approval we can get started with the construction.
