Just a reminder: The Western States Trail Foundation
(the folks who take care of the Tevis Cup Trail) are still accepting applications
for the May 19 (Saturday) 10th Annual Fun Ride. Check out
their website for applications, etc,. at: www.foothill.net/tevis or email them
at wstf@xxxxxxxxxxxx Participants
have a choice of one of two fun rides: a 12-miler from the Foresthill
mill site to Michigan Bluff via Volcano Canyon; or a 20-miler one way from the
mill to Drivers Flat following the California Street Trail. The
canyons promise to be alive with wildflowers just in time for the ride. Following
the ride will be a barbecue from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. and a seminar on vetting,
safety and preparation. Neither trail is recommended for green horses
or trail riders and are considered “technical” in places. A
vet will be on hand for any equine emergency.
