I will attend if I can if not I am sure the local POR will make a good showing <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0"> Thanks for the update Vince and your continued work involving Jergens Trail. I really wanna get back down there sometime this year.

Vince, it's incredibly hard for me to get out on weeknights but I want to do whatever I can to help. What would you suggest we do if there is no way we can make the meetings? I'll do it, now. Thanks.

If Kevin goes I will go. and yes Thank you Vince. Can't say I will be surprised if the gates are shut and locked permanantly. <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0"> Is there anybody available to run down and do a quick clean up before Thursday?

Can someone post directions or a stree address I can look up?

I tried to find a meeting last year at some school up there and got lost <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

The Odd Fellows Hall is located directly across from the little white school house on the sharp 90 degree turn just as you enter Coloma from the north. <IMG SRC="smilies/usa.gif" border="0">

Finally arrived? Hell, they have been working up to this for more than a year, and though attending now is certainly better than nothing, waiting to attend, if anyone claims to have been doing this, was a BAD idea.

That group has been meeting for a year, establishing relationships and STANDING. It is still definitely worth attending, but don't hope to step up and have an immediate impact... <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

I estimate more meetings -- this is a parcel that gets managed jointly, and BLM is just one of the parties... we're in for a tough fight on this, I fear.

We need people to attend every meeting to show a united cause and be credible.
Amen -- let's get organized and establish a solid presence... but it HAS to be a presence that uniformly lasts for the duration of the planning process. Frankly, with few attending the meetings to date, we're playing catch-up ball...

..but it is still worth catching up.
