They love horses, don't they?

I'm always amazed at how committed and creative people are when pursuing their passions. Here's a great example of a grassroots (look at the picture) networking effort that's literally transforming the landscape. The fine folks organized by the Bay Area Ridge Trail are nearing completion of the 400th mile of trail around San Francisco Bay--for horse riding, biking, and hiking. On the weekend of June 2-3, 250 volunteers turned out  to complete the trail through Muir Heritage Land Trust’s Sky Ranch in Martinez, California. Thanks to Morris Older who edits the Tilden-Wildcat Horsemen's Association Newsletter for all his hard work and for the tip. (Disclosure: he's my cousin.)
