[Donna "L-Rod" Saufley]

Yes, the CCC (California Conservation Corps), Americorp, and SCA (Student Conservation Association) still actively work on the PCT and other trails, along with many other volunteer organizations.

I want the ADT to be a biking, horse, hiking trail too.  This would be too neat.  Also, make a lot of the trails handicapped accessibility too.
