Short Description of Activity
Party to say goodbye to the District Ranger; she was a good one and everyone is sad to see her go. Updates on progress on Forest Plan, need for fee increases for day-use areas, MSO injunction, project priority power point presentation. Update on controlled burns, thinning, and other fire issues.
Reflection/Evaluation
Very congenial meeting, but sad to say goodbye to Kim Obele, the DR. It would be nice to not have to drive to these meetings, but there is so much potential for recommended wilderness that Linda and I feel we have to stay active and monitor the situation.
