times of the year. <br /> Thinking ahead to a park closure and how we might allow legitimate entry by the Eagle Scout crew, for example, <br /> who has a trail work party scheduled on 8/5 -8/7. Could we require anyone parking in the lot to exhibit a parking <br /> permit, approved for specific dates? As we gave them such a permit we could also list conditions of entry, safety <br /> precautions, limitations of where they can go, etc. <br /> Incidently, Dan Wirth spent a number of years working in the national park system, and has good ideas about <br /> trail, how they are designed and used, and safety issues. He is a frequent hiker of the trails, and is knowledgable <br /> about their condition, and has good ideas about improvements to be made. <br /> Page 2 <br />
