Re: [RC] finally, an end to illegal fees - alexis_millsRiding horses and caring about conservation are not mutually exclusive. I do both. Despite not becoming an NRA, the Catalinas remain open to trail riding, in part because environmentalists, including me, opposed making the Prison Camp area into a shooting range. It now has plenty of room for trailer parking and a few small pens. Alexis Mills 520-221-1217 PO Box 1264 3179 W.

Lemmon/the Catalinas (near Tucson) as a National Recreation Area years ago, and when that got shot down by local activists, they found a way to charge fees anyway. The only National Recreaton Area I know of is Big South Fork and it's the BEST. I don't know the official specifics but it seems more geared to being USED wisely instead of just locked up and preserved. My first guess would be that shooting down a National Recreation Area designation was a lot more beneficial to the Sierra Club than horseback riders.
