This link is also provided on the Tevis web site page that is tracking
the status of efforts to repair and reopen No Hands Bridge.

YES, if you care about the Tevis Ride/Run and/or about trail
preservation and/or about the sport of endurance riding in general,
please contact your congress members about supporting this bill.

If you are unsure about names or how to contact them, I'd be happy to
help locate email and snailmail addresses. Email me your home ZIP
code. I can work from that and get back to you.
