The California State Parks Foundation requests our assistance in urging the Legislature and governor to allocate the recently-identified State Park and Recreation Funds (SPRF) revenues back into our state park system.
Despite recent statements from the governor, they are concerned that it is not a done deal that the Legislature intends to allocate the $20.3 million in State Park and Recreation Fund (SPRF) revenues back into the state park system. They are concerned that legislators may feel tempted to put those funds elsewhere, or claim to put them into state parks but simply reduce the park system’s General Fund allocation at the same time.
The Legislature wraps up in roughly 3 weeks, and these decisions will be made quickly. The following link is available for sending input to legislators:

He’s running – not mountain biking – but longtime ROMP member Gary Gellin is attempting to set a new record on the 165+ mile Tahoe Rim Trail, starting Monday 8/13. 28,000 feet of climbing, all at altitudes above 6200′. Standing record is 38 hours, 32 minutes.
Update, 8/16: Gary went 80 miles before stopping due to a knee injury – great accomplishment!!!
Gary is supporting the Tahoe Rim Trail Association through this effort; if you’d like to contribute, visit here. Note “TRT speed record” in the comments box.
Go Gary!!!
