FJ meeting times

[2dollah]

Pulled from undertakers:

The information below is from Sandee McCullen, who has also scheduled the meetings. I'm planning to attend the Mesa meeting on the 27th. The whole thing is a little cloudy to me regarding how we're exactly supposed to build our case, so am planning to attend and spend a good portion of the first part of the meeting just listening.

I will have the computer with the Evaluation Data as well as the maps that correspond. What I need from all of you is specific information regarding each trail.

I would like someone to start the action with a specific trail. I will be at the computer listing all the issues or data each can apply.

After we compile all we have we can put it together in a Proposed Plan. Each meeting will have a sign in sheet and each of these will be included in the proposed plan.

Any additional ideas are appreciated.

I need outside information from all of you as to the
1)HISTORY of each trail.
2)An open mind regarding "mitigation".......... i.e. "gating vs closure"
3)If you have old maps of this area.......... bring them.
4)If you have aerial maps..........
5)Pictures are good

Join the club as far as not getting a good answer as to what kind of paperwork etc that Sandee wants. I have some old maps from the 60's-70's I am bringing and since I have been wheeling out there since 1977, I am sure I can dig up some photos too. I asked her about some of the stuff I have, but never got a clear answer about if it is what she wants or not. Seems we can never quite get a clear answer from her.

I'm starting to think that the more of our trails we expose the more of our trails they'll close.

I dunno man, Sandee works her ass off for this stuff but she is hard to get ahold of. When all this crap first came out MONTHS ago I e-mailed her and offered to get her brand new aerial photography for all the trails out there free of charge. She seemed interested at first but after I gave her my cell phone number and asked to meet, she disappeared. I'd still like to help out but there's no way that I can compile imagery that fast now.

I would not disclose any more trail info to her. She may not close those trails, but once she marks our trails Francisco see that and he goes to work shutting them down. At this point I am not disclosing any trail info. I am just going to see what's happening.

I am stuck working . I think my wife will show up to make our numbers good though .

Apparently she didn't get to have time either . I worked , she was still at lunch with her Aunt and then had to get her little dumb arse Bunco thingy ready .

I hope the third meeting is happening , I have nothing stopping me from attending that one if its needed .

[2dollah]

I'm an ass. I was going to go to the Saturday meeting but slept too late. Hopefully the Wed. meeting will happen.

From what Marv and Kurt said yesterday , there is no third meeting . I got the gist of it though .

Basically for the first time , wheelers are in on the mitigation process from the get go , versus fighting decisions after the fact .
