Re: Yosemite--Old Age, Alas! The Cavalry to the Rescue!

One solution park management suggested is that the horse people cut a
second trail 5 feet away from the first trail we cut. Horses use one,
hikers, bikers the other. How silly!

We do have 30 miles of trail on the other side of the lake, but those of us
onthe west side are spoiled having a nice rolling trail that is riding
distance from home. From my house to the end of the trail adn back is a
nice 10 mile hack, good for training. 

When we want challenge, we trailer over t othe other side and do the rocks
and hills.

we'll see what happens. If any of you are ever in Kansas, come on over.
I'll show you there are HILLS here. (and trees)
