I change my hat for this event and become a worker bee and grounds manager. The Quarterly meeting was productive and many items were handled and approved. This means that events, programs and planning move ahead. We have a great camp-meeting set for the July Quarterly that many are looking forward to at the beautiful Pt. Reyes area and the fun atmosphere that takes us out of meeting rooms. I want to acknowledge the tremendous amount of work that goes on behind the scenes. The officers, chairs and representatives of both State and Region work continually to keep the programs coming to the membership of CSHA. It takes personal time, extra effort and creativity to achieve having a state CSHA President Jim Hendrickson -wide organization function and mesh activities. Please remember to check the website for Remembrances. It has been a difficult year for CSHA and we wish to acknowledge those members that have passed.

Dino passed away at the age of 30 in 2006 on Peggy s 90th birthday. through the depression taught Peggy many life skills. She married her husband Harry and had two sons. Peggy took up riding a bit later in life, at 64 actually. She was hooked on parading as was her beautiful horse Dino. They both loved to perform and be in the middle of the parade action. Peggy said Dino was more human than horse. The pair appeared in more than 550 parades over 25 years and in the Tournament of Roses parade thirteen times.

John was a man with a kind word and smile for everyone. A man of incredible integrity and loyalty, and always an enthusiastic member of the State Patrol. John's strong sense of ethics and principles are greatly missed by all who have known him and served with him. John came to the State Patrol after retiring from the BART Police Department, and his passion and skills soon led to him to being asked to be Deputy Chief - North. John willing accepted this position and served the CSHA for nearly 9 years in his leadership capacity. Many of John's family became actively involved in the State Patrol, as Patrol Officers and volunteers. The membership of the State Patrol express their deep and sincere sympathy to the Poon family during this period of loss, and invite and encourage all members of CSHA join them and to keep John's positive contributions and memory alive within our organization."

8 THE NEW HORSEMA N PAGE 8 July Quarterly Continued Information on Stewart Horse Camp Stewart Horse Camp has been around a long time and is managed by the Stewart family that previously owned the land before being sold to the National Park Service. They are open from April 1st through November 1st, depending on the weather. Access is off Highway 1 approx. 5 miles south of Olema. Camping fees are CASH ONLY and are generally collected when you arrive or the next morning if you arrive later in the day. Be sure to get a map from Amanda when she collects your camping fees. PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED, YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE IF YOU BRING ONE! There are no corrals, but high-tie poles are at most sites or you can bring your own portable corrals. There is no tying to trees or any fencing. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. Water faucets are located either in the sites or nearby, be sure to bring hoses and splitters as you will have to share faucets. The water is non-potable stock water, bring your drinking water. Fire restrictions are posted in the camp and are enforced! Rangers patrol when fire danger is high and will give tickets to those with open fires. There is a restroom building with hot showers and flush toilets, and power for those that need to plug in a hair dryer. The trails are FANTASTIC! Trails are very well marked, but recommend you do get a map so you know where you are! You can get one at the Visitors Center near Olema or from Amanda if she has any. Here's a tip... If you want to get back to the camp, just head for Five Brooks staging area. The camp is located just below the staging area. You can ride to Wildcat Beach via Stewart Trail (fire road) or up Greenpicker or other single track trails, return along the coast via Coast Trail to Old Out Trail and connect with Almeda trail for a great ride. There are hitching rails, restroom and picnic tables at Wildcat Camp and a large water trough near the camp. Or go to the Visitors Center via Rift Zone trail (approx. 5 miles). This is a beautiful easy ride, just a short bit of steep down hill at the beginning before the bridge. Horses are not allowed on Bear Valley Trail near the Visitors Center during the weekend or holidays. But you can take Horse Trail from the Visitor's Center (behind the Nat'l Park's Morgan Ranch) for a great ride, with a gradual incline up to Sky Camp where there are picnic tables, hitching rails, restrooms and water trough (look for the little "water trough" sign on the downhill side of the trail just past the large trees by the picnic area). (Don't take Mt. Wittenberg up, pretty steep!) During the week take Bear Valley Trail out to Arch Rock and back or head off on another trail. Water trough and restrooms at the visitors center. These are just a few of the trails you can take, there are miles and miles of trails, usually very well maintained. Several of the trails have had yellow jackets during the late summer months so beware. Warning signs are usually posted at the beginning of the trails impacted. Just be sure to take water, a snack and a jacket with you in case you are out longer than expected! NOTE: The Morgan Ranch is where they train the horses for use by the Nat'l Park Service. They have some nice informational displays and the rangers are always ready to talk horses! Highly recommend this for anyone that likes to trail ride!
