Re: [RC] [RC] California Recreational Trails Committee - Jeannie GillenThe CRTC meets 4-6 times annually, and we try to meet in different areas of the State to encourage (not discourage) participation. The CRTC is a "non-motorized" Trails Advocacy Committee....that mainly includes hikers, bikers and equestrians. All meetings are OPEN to the public. I understand what you are saying about the Eureka/Arcata area....I myself have found there are a lot of Sierra Club members there...so, yes, they probably will be well represented. That's why I am asking for participation from equestrians. By taking my horses to all "our" meetings....the Committee and Staff are reminded to consider the needs of equestrians.... I also find that having the Conflict Resolution Clinic's help educate users about each other's specific needs. Thanks to your input, I will make a special request for hiker (Sierra Club) participation.

Merims dkfritz@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Linda xxx said:WOW! Eureka/Arcata is so remote from the rest of California. It's hard to imagine getting some of the more active trail advocates out there to the meeting. Is it being held there just to be able to say there is not much support?Yes. That is exactly why it is being held there. It is being held there because they know the Sierra Club/hikers will send a representative anyway (quite probably a paid professional with an expense account and an Environmental Law degree from Stanford), and they know IMBA/mountain bikers will send a representative anyway (if not a paid professional, at least a volunteer attorney who has read California public land law), and they know that the horse people will maybe send one person, but maybe not, and that person will be mostly concerned that everybody else there "Just isn't being fair!" Welcome to the big leagues. This is hardball. Stop whining and learn to play. Show up anyway. Linda B.
