ahhh... the power of the ocean— never turn your back on it!

Your words brought back memories of the same thing that happened to me as a student at UCSB in the early 80s. One piece of advice: don't give up hope. I kept my eyes open and scanned all bike racks everywhere; on campus, off campus, FTorres, etc. Sure enough, several weeks later, my trusty stead was found unlocked in the racks at FT. I just walked up and rode off, touche! Good luck, but always ride a beater at UCSB, and lock it.

I guess she's never heard of "nature deficit disorder". Also, video games take away from kids' lives the actual interactions of basic communication (conversations, eye contact, visual human cues) and aerobic physical activity. I'm really looking forward to a society of obese adults with poor communication skills and lots of health problems... NOT. Hmmm.... follow the grant money on this one.

Hmmmm... having mtnbiked/hiked Romero over the last 30 years: I've witnessed many slides take place, the brush grown thicker, damaging bike riding techniques, a friend go over the edge and steadily increased use. Yes, I will miss the shady cool sections of the singletrack (aka old road) past the powerlines. But with a little TLC, our community has the opportunity to make the best out of it. Because eventually, 'ol Mother Nature will do her thing and the slides will still happen and the brush will still grow. But I would like to see the FService do some rehab work and there's probably some grant money floating around out there.

Yes, wildlife looking for new habitats is a great concern for all of us that care about our forests. My personal guess, as a VWR (volunteer wilderness ranger) is that the unburned areas on either sides of the Santa Ynez River, up the backside to SB, and in Blue Canyon, will offer some respite for fleeing animals on the southern side. Some word has been circulating that a rancher over near the Santa Cruz drainage has already counted 11 bears trekking out over the last 3 weeks, but I can't confirm this. Hopefully they will all be given a wide berth by humans in order to have the chance to exist. There will probably be some "survival-of-the-fittest" that will go on, but that is life.

Here's a couple of good websites that describe the trails and other areas in our forest:

We are all forgetting one important piece of this debate... where is all the new H20 going to come from to support this growth? We need to demand a honest EIR on water sources and availability now and in the future. I bet the State can not prove it has enough to meet all the growth it is pushing on our communties.
