Subject:     RE: GW TRAILS

Glenn, Christopher and Mark, T

hanks for the ideas and have a great few months.  I would definitely like to

find a way to talk with all of you.  We are just starting this program and

have a limited budget but want to provide recreation trips, Leadership

Education, Wilderness First Aid (at least for our 6 student leaders) and many

other opportunities.  We are also just now starting to look into Pro deals to

assist us in getting gear as we are starting from scratch.  Any advice or

direction would be appreciated.  Thank you, Tim

thereafter before I leave on July 17 for the Himalayas, where I will be two

weeks in Ladakh, and then trekking over the Zanskar Range in Kashmiri until

September.  I am then returning for only a day and spending the next two weeks

in Alaska's West Coast range.  I will be back for a couple of weeks in

September until the first of October when I go to Sikkim for another go at the

Himalaya.

for an evening Seminar on the Everest Trek Route on June 18.  Mark nelson at

REI knows all about this and can give you further details (see email address

above.)

>It might be a good idea to convene your group at REI, and we can talk about

the future since Mark is also involved with a lot of Trail construction and

maintenance as well as a good outdoor education program and is also a Board

Member of WFA‑‑Wilderness First Aid‑‑as am I.  The Director is Christopher

Tate, with whom you might also like to touch base (email above)‑‑and with each

of us trying to help, it should be a good experience for all!
