Hello, SWG Participants! Kim Stravers from MLTPA here:

This Sunday, August 30, MLTPA is putting together two site visits to help review your draft summer proposal out in the field. This will be a chance to visit locations where projects from the SWG might be implemented, and a great opportunity for SWG participants to prep for the next SWG meeting on Thursday, September 3.

These two site reviews will not be formal field trips; rather, the goal is to get you as familiar as possible with what the current summer proposal looks like out on the ground. Any further development of the narrative and rationales for the summer proposal will happen at the next regular SWG meeting.

Meeting Times and Locations:

SITE REVIEW #1: 10:00 a.m., Mammoth Creek Park West

SITE REVIEW #2: 2:00 p.m., Twin Lakes parking lot (the scenic pullout right off of Lake Mary Road)

MLTPA will have copies of the summer narrative notes as well as the summer maps from the breakout groups and will provide guide/tour services to all who show up.

See you Sunday!

–Team MLTPA



Eastern Section Field Trip – by swger

Hi,

This is Chuck Megivern. First, thanks to Doug Will, Jen Noerdlinger, Patty Schwartzkopf, Jim Barnes, and John W. for the excellent field trip on Sunday. I think a lot of good ideas and discussion came out of this trip. I am interested in leading a similar field trip that will focus on the eastern side of the area. We will start at Mammoth Creek Park and work our way to the top of the hill behind Snowcreek and back. This route will allow us to look at several issues and opportunities addressed on the summer and winter maps. I will be available on a weekday evening this week, or Monday or Tuesday of  week. Based on Sunday’s trip, I would plan on about 3 hours, so we should probably plan on starting around 3 p.m. Please e-mail me at cmegivern@gmail.com if interested, or call the MLTPA office at (760) 934-3154, or just post here.

SWG Western Sector Recon Hike to be led by John Wentworth by swger

This is John Wentworth. I am going to have to leave town on Tuesday, August 18, and would like to lead a hike this coming Sunday — August 16 — that will examine the western sector of the SATSS study area. There are some great opportunities that have yet to be fully explored in the summer narratives and excellent viewpoints and vistas of the entire area. Sunday is the only chance that I’ll have to lead this hike before having to leave town. Please call me at 934 1279 or send me an email at johnwentworth@mltpa.org or leave a comment on this blog. Haven’t set a time or meeting place yet — looking to see who might be interested.

Best to all,

John
