Here's a link to the page where the just released plan for Gold Camp Road is
posted.  For those that haven't heard, the Forest Service plans to open Gold
Camp Road to one way (up) motor vehicle traffic (their "Alternative C").  I
haven't read the whole thing yet, but I did find it interesting that in
Chapter 2 (table on page 2-28) that there is no mention of the effect of
opening the road to all of the current users of the road (they do say
decreased off-leash pets and increase in use of trails by mountain bikes,
but they otherwise say "no effect to other existing recreation uses!")  What
are they smoking!?!  (please excuse my editorial comment!)

I highly encourage all to read this.  The upside of the favored alternative
is development of more trails in the area (always a positive for us), but
the downside is the displacement of the current users of Gold Camp Road (no
more walking with your kids & dogs on the road, no more teaching your kids
how to ride a bike on the road, etc.).  I've mixed emotions myself, but I'd
probably give up some extra trails if the other users would still be able to
use the road.  Anyway, here's the link:

Greetings!

First of all, welcome aboard to our new members.  This list just keeps
getting larger and larger.  Just one or two at a time.  But the growth
is there.  Pretty soon, we're gonna be a movement!

Anyway, the trail work scheduled for today (Saturday the 13th) was
snowed out.  I didn't send out a notice to the list mostly due to the
forecast.  At least this time they got it right.

So we'll try again for next weekend, that will be Saturday the 20th.
9:00 am.  Meet at the cul-de-sac end of Templeton Gap Rd, just as
before.

We don't have a lot to do to finish this project.  Although there is
a lot to do (pick any trail).  This will most likely be the last shot
at trying to do trail work this season, unless we get a stretch of
really good weather.  But the holidays are coming and I'm sure you'll
all be busy with those.

So let's hope for decent enough weather next week to have a good
ending to this years trail work.

And thanks again to those folks who came out to Red Rock Canyon last
week to tour the freeride area.  That process is off to a great start.
They have a lot of planning and work to do to get that off the ground.
Sorry, I just couldn't help that.

And for those non-freeriders among us, remember that there will be
ample opportunity for planning and building some new trails in the
park next year.  So don't think we're gonna let those guys have all
the fun.

Phil Yearsley
Trail Work Coordinator

Greetings,

Just a reminder that there is another trail work day
scheduled for this Saturday in Palmer Park.

Who: You
What: Trail Work
When: Saturday, Oct. 30 9:00 am
Where: Palmer Point Trail
Meet: Templeton Gap Rd cul-de-sac at Austin Bluffs Parkway

This is on the Palmer Point Trail in the very northwest corner of the
park. Just in case you want to ride there.

Greetings,

Just thought I'd let you know that I have created a couple of photo
albums on our yahoo groups website.  One for the Palmer Point Trail
work that we started last Saturday.  And the other for Grandview
Overlook Trail work that we did last year.

To view them, log into the yahoo groups site, then click on photos,
or use this url, which will bring up the yahoo login, then take you
directly to the photos:

http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/medicine_whee
l_PPR/lst?.dir=/Palmer+Park+-+Palmer+Point+Trail&.
src=gr&.order=&.view=t&.done=http%3a//briefcase.yahoo.com/

I will be adding photos here as work gets done, and our file space
limitations allow.  Older photo albums will be deleted as I add new
ones to take their place.

Check 'em out, and see if you can find yourself in there anywhere.
If you can't find you, then maybe you should come out and do trail
work more often.  :^)

Enjoy.  Happy Trails,

Phil Yearsley
Trail Work Coordinator

Greetings,

Many thanks to those eleven people who came out last Saturday for some
trail work in Palmer Park.  It was hard work, we got a lot
accomplished.  But the job is not yet finished.  Is trail work ever
finished?

Who:   You
What:  Trail Work
When:  Saturday, Oct. 30 9:00 am
Where: Palmer Point Trail
Meet:  Templeton Gap Rd cul-de-sac at Austin Bluffs Parkway

We will be finishing up work started last Saturday.  This is on the
Palmer Point Trail in the very northwest corner of the park.  We did
some major drainage work, along with some very nice rock work (I told
you rockhounds to be there).

To get to the meeting place, on Union, south of Austin Bluffs, and
north of Fillmore, turn east on Templeton Gap Road (the only way to
turn) and proceed to the cul-de-sac at the end.  We hope to see you
there.  If we have bad weather, then we'll try again on the following
Saturday, Nov. 6.

Happy Trails,

Phil Yearsley
Trail work coordinator

Greetings!

First of all, WELCOME to all the new members of the list.
We're up to 268 members now.  Wow!  Who'd a thought?

Announcing yet another trail work opportunity this year,
and perhaps not the last.

WHO:  You if you want to join us
WHAT: Trail Work
WHEN: Saturday, October 16 (this Saturday) 9:00 AM
WHERE:Palmer Park

We will be meeting at the cul-de-sac at the end of Templeton Gap Road
where it dead ends into Austin Bluffs.  To get there, proceed north
on Union from Circle/Fillmore, or south on Union from Austin Bluffs,
to Templeton Gap Road.  Turn east, (just one way to go here) go past
the country club to the end of the road.

There is some major rock work to do here, so you rockhounds come on
out and get your fix.  This could take up to three work days,
depending on the turn out.  The trail has had some major erosion,
and there is a lot to do to take care of it.

So let's come on out for the first work day in Palmer Park for this
year.  And perhaps not the last.  Hope to see you there.

Happy Trails,

Phil Yearsley
