[pct-l] Trail maintence

[jdawud at yahoo.com (Junaid Dawud)]

I'll have to admit, I think that there should be ways
to make it possible for low income citizens/families
to access the parks with out burdening them.  I don't
have a ready answer, however people like me (now low
30K, single, living in honolulu-with COL) shouldn't
have a problem coughing up 15-20 bucks for a car
entry.  

The old saying is 'put your money wher your mouth is'.
 Well I modify it for my own use, 'put your money
where your heart is'.

BTW-I was hoping someone would have some great comment
about my camp baking idea.  oh well.
