Foresthill Divide Middle School, Rm 15 |
Thank you Nolan Smith of the Foresthill Ranger District for the very interesting talk and slide show. Everybody had a great time and learned something about the history of the Picayune Valley.
Patent Road Staging Area
will be the main subject of our September meeting. We have a
video of the site and a preliminary idea of where the parking area
and trail head could be located. A section of the access trail just
above the Western States trail will need some renovation as it is quite
steep. Most of the access trail is in great shape so our biggest initial
project will be the parking area. We plan to first focus on the the basics -
the road to the parking site, the parking area and the trail.
If you have any questions, concerns or ideas, please come to the meeting
as now is the time to get involved. The more people that come forward
and help, the sooner we can start construction.
Possible Additional Facilities that could come later:
All we need to achieve these goals are people willing to help.
Board Elections - October 24th
If you are interested in becoming a member of FTA's dynamic, exciting, innovative board, please step forward, throw your hat into the ring and help save the trails.
Please, if you have any desire to become more involved in a worthy cause, the Trail Alliance needs you. Our trails on the Divide are vanishing. With the increasing population, our existing trails are more heavily used and need more maintenance. How can you help the FTA? Here are some ideas:
Autumn Trails
Autumn is a wonderful time to get out and ride, but those gnats are
annoying. Let's hope for an early frost. Don't forget hunting season
starts at the end of September. Wear bright colored clothing and be
alert for hunters out on the trails.
Not many flowers blooming at this time of year, but now is the best time to sow wildflowers in your garden.
