Re: Yosemite--Old Age, Alas! The Cavalry to the Rescue!

You might consider going for half-a-loaf and get at least some of the
access back on those trails you mention:  See if the ranger will go for
a time-share arrangement, where half the week the trail is reserved for
hikers and bikers, the rest for horses.

With that foot in the door, you can then push for a bigger share if you
are using your half more than the hikers/bikers are using theirs.

Good luck /richard
