Acadia National Park

[Pam Johnson <pam-john@ma.ultranet.com>]

Hi Folks,

I just heard very distressing news that Wildwood Stables at Acadia National Park may be closed in the next day or so.  Horse  people in New England and throughout the northeast will be losing one of the nicest stables in a national park.  These stables make traveling to Maine and using the National Park possible. If you have a moment, please send an e-mail to Director Stanton. Maybe our appeals will help keep this stable open. ( hopefully they won't ask to close the carriage roads next!)
