Re: [RC] [RC] California Recreational Trails Committee - Jeannie Gillen

The CRTC meets 4-6 times annually, and we try to meet in  different areas of
the State to encourage (not discourage) participation.

The CRTC is a "non-motorized" Trails Advocacy Committee....that mainly
includes hikers, bikers and equestrians.
All meetings are OPEN to the public.

I understand what you are saying about the Eureka/Arcata area....I myself
have found there are a lot of Sierra Club members there...so, yes, they
probably will be well represented.  That's why I am asking for participation
from equestrians.  By taking my horses to all "our" meetings....the
Committee and Staff are reminded to consider the needs of equestrians....

I also find that having the Conflict Resolution Clinic's help educate users
about each other's specific needs.  Thanks to your input, I will make a
special request for hiker (Sierra Club) participation.

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.
