Thanks again Sycamore for the notes. I agree with Laughing Bear that people should not use the trail that the USFS wants "closed". It especially does not look good if DCV members use it. It's counter-productive to the good working relationship with Brad Burns and the USFS currently.
We should all start thinking about alternatives and hopefully come to a consensus as to what we support. I believe this is what Ron what interested in doing.
Regarding the continuing saga of the "good"vs. the "evil" Mike Castro, it's clear to me that he suffers from what is currently known as "schzoid-effective" disease, This is essentially a combination of manic depressiveness and schizophrenia. This explains his Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde personna. I am in no way accepting of his behavior, however, he seriously needs mental help and/or medication to regulate his disease.
