WOW! Eureka/Arcata is so remote from the rest of California.
It?s hard to imagine getting some of the more active trail 
advocates out there to the meeting. Is it being held there
just to be able to say there is not  much support? 

Yes.  That is exactly why it is being held there.

It is being held there because they know the Sierra Club/hikers
will send a representative anyway (quite probably a paid
professional with an expense account and an Environmental Law
degree from Stanford), and they know IMBA/mountain bikers will
send a representative anyway (if not a paid professional, at
least a volunteer attorney who has read California public land
law), and they know that the horse people will maybe send one
person, but maybe not, and that person will be mostly concerned
that everybody else there "Just isn't being fair!"

Welcome to the big leagues.  This is hardball.

Stop whining and learn to play.

Show up anyway.
