  1. looks like some things are getting organized here. Two meetings coming up,
    one is tomorrow night so sorry for the short notice.

    At the last meeting of Inland Northwest Trails, it was decided to form
    committees to work on different interests within our broad spectrum of
    advocacy.

    The rural recreational trails committee will be meeting on October 13. If
    you have an interest in hiking on soft trails, equestrian, mountain biking,
    etc. please join us for this meeting.

    City bike routes will not be discussed ... anyone doing so will be
    dispatched on their bicycle to do a century!

    and,

    Friends of Mount Spokane will be having a meeting as a precursor to
    developing an overall plan for trail development at Mt Spokane State Park.
    This is the advisory council I believe, the public comment time period is
    not open YET.

    here's the info I have on that one.

    The
    Friends Group decided to take the initiative and work on a proposal for a
    permanent trail plan that would go to the Commission and then go out to the
    community for discussion and approval. If we don't get this started, it
    will never happen. Since the Commission is requiring a trail plan before
    any other trail modifications are made, in its absence there can be no
    further improvements to the system and it will continue to degrade. Our
    next meeting is Tuesday, November 2 at 6:30 PM at the Argonne Library and
    you are welcome to attend.

    this was the rural trails sub group of the newly formed Inland NW Trails
    Assoc. They are still getting into gear. I went just as a visitor to see
    what it was about. There was quite a bit of talk about connecting a lot of
    the various regional rail trails - the Milwaukee line which is the
    Hiawatha- Trail of the CDA's with the Columbia Plateau Trail and the John
    Wayne. Talk of how to and which ones of various grants the group might have
    access too. A report on the status of the Dream Trail... trying to connect
    Dishman Mica with Rocks of Sharon; still of lot of private property up
    there.

    Also, the backcountry horsemen's group which made those nice maps of
    Riverside and Mount Spokane are about to publish edition 2 of those. Ideas
    were kicked around about just doing an informal local trail inventory..
    everything from the rail trails to ?? just to see what's out there, and how
    to maybe connect them, what's legal, what isn't etc.

    I had a nice chat with some of the horsemen, nice too see that they too
    think that user conflicts are not a problem around here, at least when it
    comes to horses and bikers. When I told them about some other areas where
    either trails have been totally closed to bikes, or the alternate day
    scenario that I've read about , there was genuine surprise that those kinds
    of things happen elsewhere.
