FYI,



I emailed the CA State Parks about which parks will be closed.  Below

is their response.  Attached is the list of the pending parks to be closed.



Mt. Diablo is on the list.

the website to do something is               www.savestateparks.org i would like to think this is a scare tactic but our parks are too important to gamble that please contact your legislators and let them know state parks are essential for the well-being of our state --education, vacation, environmental access, etc not to mention what it will cost to close and lose the maintenance of buildings, trails, and campgrounds--state of california  will never have the money to reopen most parks if we let them deteriorate--and then there are those who will encamp themselves and cause more damage and yes some will use for illegal activities --and there will not be money available for law enforcement in closed parks and as we know if we don't show interest and outrage at the proposition of closures our legislators will assume we could care less--look at some of the folks we've elected to high positions by our apathy jane --- On Tue, 6/30/09, Ken Goldman <ken.goldman@comcast.net> wrote: From: Ken Goldman <ken.goldman@comcast.net> Subject: Re: [CCC_Bicycle_Club] CA State Park Closures...
