The National
Park Service is considering making changes to the Mammoth Cave Trail System.
Some of the changes could severely limit the trails for equine use. We need
for all horse lovers and trail riders to band together and help keep these
beautiful and unique trails open to horses. Mammoth Cave Natural Park
encompasses 52,830 acres in south central Kentucky and is home to the largest
cave system in the world. Right now the ?preferred? alternative is to close
First Creek Trail to all horses. This is a vital trail linking the Lincoln
trailhead to the rest of the north side horse trails and thus cuts horse off
from the majority of the parks trails. This alternative would be devastating to
the equestrian community. We have created a letter that opposes this
alternative and instead recommends a new plan that creates a separate trail for
bicyclists on the south side of the river returning the north side trail system
to horses and hikers. To fill out form click on the following link http://roguediamond.com/mammoth.html Once
you fill out form click the submit button. The letter will be automatically
forwarded to the National Park Service. The form has been carefully encrypted so
as to protect your personal information from spammers.
PLEASE TAKE THE
TIME TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT. EVEN IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN TO MAMMOTH CAVE NATIONAL
PARK EACH AND EVERY VOTE ENSURES THAT HORSE LOVERS EVERYWHERE WILL BE ABLE TO
ENJOY THIS GORGEOUS AND UNIQUE TRAIL SYSTEM FOR MANY YEARS TO COME! THE FORM
NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED BY MONDAY MARCH the 24th, 2008. ******Please forward
this to all your horsey friends ****
