I am sure that many of you are aware that there is a lawsuit pending in the US regarding the Rubicon trail. Many clubs, associations and other organizations across North America are donating money to the Blue Ribbon Coalition's Legal Action Fund.
While the Rubicon Trail is not a local trail it is one that many locals travel to and that many others would like to run.
The B.C. South Coast Allterrainers is donating $200 to this cause.
The Allterrainers challenge all other clubs and associations in the Lower Mainland to meet or beat our contribution.
Here is some further information on the issue:

To All:
Here is the BlueRibbon Coalition press release on the Eldorado National Forest (Rubicon, Rock Creek, and many other trails) lawsuit. Friends of the Rubicon is in the game! Many other groups will be part of this, but for now, both BRC and Cal4wheel (CA4WDC) have set up legal funds to handle donations to the fight. I'm in this one for the duration.
We need you to round up support as best you can. Tell folks this is the way to help (contributing to the Legal Action Fund), even for folks who
live where travel to the Rubicon is still a dream. Let's keep that dream alive.
Let me know if you have any questions. Remember that FOTR is merely an informal coalition of interested folks. So we are not a write off (for
money sent to Albright Enterprises for FOTR). You're better off right now sending money to BRC Legal Action Fund (or the Cal4 fund if you're a member and want to contribute there).
I'm very optimistic that we're going to make history with this one. Thanks for all your support and help,
Del

UPDATE ON LEGAL ACTION REGARDING ELDORADO NATIONAL FOREST LAWSUIT
As many of you know, several preservationist groups have filed a lawsuit that has the potential
to close many of our favorite off-highway vehicle trails on the Eldorado National Forest.
Fortunately, BlueRibbon Coalition Legal Action Fund attorneys had been monitoring this issue for several months and are coordinating with local
recreation and access groups to mount a strong legal challenge to the preservationist's lawsuit.
BRC and its partners will be taking formal steps to become parties to this litigation in the next several weeks. For those interested in learning more about our legal action on this matter please contact:

One thing is guaranteed in legal action. It will cost money. The BRC has already set up an account to which you may send your tax-deductible donations. Contributions will be gladly accepted via the US Mail or filed online using Pay Pal at: www.sharetrails.org

I was going to go crazy but then I realized that I already have a summer home there.
