Stamped Trail

Received this today in an email

Hi-
Friends of Stampede is a group that formed late last year, based along the Stampede Road outside Healy. We'd like to see lands along the Stampede Trail designated as a State Recreation Area, and thought you'd be interested in working with our group to support this. The idea was originally suggested by a borough Assembly member in 2007, and several members of your group testified in support at a Healy meeting. This borough resolution passed, and the state followed through with a bill during the same year. More recently, we have been working on getting current resolutions of support from borough government (2 resolutions were passed in January with unanimous support), and a few weeks ago Senator Thomas and Representative Guttenberg reintroduced bills (SB 60, HB 113) to create a State Recreation Area along the Stampede Trail. We feel that it's important to get all of the different users of the area on the same page, and would like to see your members get involved. We have a lot more information available...shoot me an email at friendsofstampede@gmail.com, or call me at 687-2403. I'd be happy to answer any questions, and could register on your site to answer them directly if you think it would be helpful.
Look forward to hearing from you!
Hannah Ragland, for Friends of Stampede

I know myself and a few others that aren't in the club anymore attended these meetings in Heely, actually Kevin may have attended one also. this is something we need to look into. Seems like a good job for our PR rep. but I know he is as busy if not more than the rest of us. I will do my best to talk to them but I have very little time during the day. If anyone else has time and can contact them to find out info let me know.

This can drastically effect us wheeling this area. I actually know we didn't testify on behalf of anything but our user group. We talked about how we still want to be able to use the area. They mentioned an are like the CHSR rec area and as many know our usergroup is not allowed in that area. so this is something we have to stay on top of. I will research the HB's and such to see what they say.
