Greetings,

Learn about the exciting reenactment of the Muir Ramble Route and the journey of discovery John Muir experienced during his 1868 walk from Oakland to Yosemite Valley. Attend one of the presentations being offered by Peter and Donna Thomas at SF Bay Area REI stores. Their series this month-"Muir Ramble Route: Walking from San Francisco to Yosemite in the footsteps of John Muir" - will include pictures, talk about their trip, talk about walking in California, and basically get you pumped to get outside!!  

The Bean Creek Preserve - owned by Sierra Foothill Conservancy (SFC) and part of the John Muir Highway project- is currently being studied for a habitat restoration project to enhance its health as an ecosystem treasure for the area.  Recently, Bridget Fithian and Logan Page from SFC, came to the Preserve to discuss its history and possible restoration strategies with local residents and experienced grazing management neighbors John Shimer and Merlin Jones. Cattle rancher Kris Souza's family - including Betsy, Shelby & Bodie, heard about planning as well.
