This morning was a bitter-sweet moment as guest gathered live in the KHUM studio for one last Happy Trails Episode. Emily Sinkhorn, my longest running co-host was also joined by Carol Vander Meer, Bruce Silvey, and Roger James. We talked about how much progress our trails sytem has had in the 12 years that Happy Trails has been a weekly feature on my show. We also looked ahead and what progress we can expect in the near future.

This will be my final week on KHUM. Friday will be my last day. As I get ready to file my final paperwork with the county to qualify for the March 3rd ballot as I run for the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors, District 1. And although the election isn't until March, FCC equal time rules will keep me off the air. More info on the next phase of my life go to cliff4supervisor.com

Final Happy Trails

This morning Stevie Luther and I spoke with Rees Hughes about current and future opportunities with the Volunteer Trail Steward program. For 10 years now Volunteer Trail Stewards have made it possible for the county and municipalities to expand our trail system. Maintenance and upkeep is always a concern, but volunteers have kept costs so low expansion is possible. More opportunities available at humtrails.org.

Volunteer Trail Stewards - More Opportunities

This morning Emily Sinkhorn and I spoke with Ben Morehead of the Trinidad Coastal Land Trust and Jen Buck of Cal Trans about their collaborative work with the RCAA to get this one mile of trail linking the Hammond Trail to Trinidad and crossing Little River. This is a small but critical piece that will help create the regional trail system we have all dreamt of.

Little River Trail Collaboration

I had the pleasure of talking to Bruce Silvy, board member of the Humboldt Trails Council about how things are proceeding with closure of the NCRA and rail banking the rail corridor between Eureka and Willits. These are necessary steps to be taken before the corridor can be converted into one of the premier rail to trail projects in the country.
