CA Riding & Hiking Trail, and CA State Rec. Trails Committee RD # 1372

[connie B Berto <cberto@juno.com>]

Steve, and anyone else who is interested, I know two ladies who are
working very hard to revive the CRHT.   They are Kathleen Hayden 
(prknride@znet.com) and Barbara Weitz (babtt@augur.com).   Barbara has
spent years at the Bancroft Library in Uc-Berkeley, researching the
enabling legislation and the route.   I know they will appreciate any
help others can offer -- after all, this thing extends the length of the
whole state.
    As for the RTC (sorry to combine two subjects in one posting), 
thanks for notifying us about the openings.   20 years ago Nancy McCall
from Marin, a fine horsewoman, was on it; then Ilse Byrnes from Orange
County, also a horsewoman.   They knew trail riding.   I seem to recall
that someone from So.Calif. who says she's a rider is on it now but
frankly I wasn't too impressed with what she knew when I've heard her
speak at these meetings.  
    I would urge interested equestrians to apply, using Steve's 
contacts.    Thanks, Steve!    Connie B

Subject: RC:  Calif. State Rec. Trails Committee
I attended the Committee meeting in San Jose today and was dismayed by
the discussion that the California Riding and Hiking Trail is being
shuffled into a nonentity by the Parks and Rec. because of 1978
legislation. How can we revived that???  There will be an excellent
Trails Conference in Redding in Sept 2000 and many of us should consider
attending....
There will soon be two openings on the California State Recreational
Trails Committee. If anyone wishes to know more about that organization
or its function, or how to be appointed by the Governor please contact
me or Charlie Willard at CWILL@parks.ca.gov

There is a lot we could do to further more trails and saving the old
ones...... Steve Shaw
