Comment on The history behind Telegraph Trail by Howell

Ed, your historical insight is rather fascinating to me. It must have been a tough ride getting to the top of the pass there with a motorcycle.

Did you motor up that hill with the Enduro?

I’ll keep an eye out for that old fence you’re talking about.

Thanks!

Good information about Telegraph Trail. However it was used by motorcycles for several years before any mountain bikes existed. The motorcycles would go straight up the hill under the telegraph (telephone) line. One of the first machines with adaquate power and suspension to ride such a trail was the DT250 Yamaha Enduro that came out about 1972.

The Anasazi decent was a cattle trail along the east sisde of the property line fence. Some of the fence is still visibal on the west (left as you decend) side of the trail as it goes from the top of the ridge down to the first major gully.

Comment on Meeting on Horse Gulch/Grandview Ridge open space preservation brings ideas, disagreement and skepticism towards proposed Grandview connection by Howell

What Paul Gibson said about the county’s scare tactics applies to what politicians have been doing since the beginning of humans using political tactics. When they cannot rule the populace through the gaining of respect for their ideas, they resort to fear tactics. But the same can be used by activists against them–it’s a two-way street.

Paul Gibson has a good point. Although I understand the proposed road could serve as an alternate route to the hospital, it’s questionable if it could ever be made a “shortcut” and continuing to espouse this theory does seem like a scare tactic. They’ve spent too much time talking about hypothetical “what if’s”. Road proposers need to be clear and honest about why they want this road in the first place.
