[RC] Pacific Crest Trail Triple Grant - FXLivestock
I sent this to the So Cal list but thought it might interest
endurance riders in the Northwest region as the PCT runs through Oregon and
Washington. I did not send the attachment but if you would like a copy of
the PCTA letter, please e mail me privately at fxlivestock at aol.com
Tara forwarded this to me so I thought I would pass it on to the
list. For those of you that are not aware several of our So
Cal endurance rides, both past and present, incorporate the Pacific Crest
Trail as part of their ride course. Some of these rides include
Warner Springs, Californios Lite, Californios 100, and the new Big Bear
100 ride. I have attached a letter from the PCTA. If you
are interested in making a donation the PCTA address is 5325 Elkhorn Blvd., PMB
256, Sacramento, CA 95842
The Pacific Crest Trail Association (PCTA) has a rather unique
opportunity whereby any donations made made before Dec 31, 2007 will be
triple matched. Yes, for every $1 received, they PCTA will receive
an additional $3 in matching funds from the U.S. Forest Service (please see the attached letter).
The PCT is one of the most well
traveled trail in the U.S. AND it is used by hikers AND equestrians (one of
the few that allows equestrians). The Appalachian Trail bans all but
hikers. This level of matching funding will even greater levels of care and
maintenance for the PCT. Take advantage of the rare opportunity to
provide much needed funding to keep this wonder trail
open.
