Fall 2003 page ON THE PRES~EDITORS DECK The Future Is One Minute Away utting one of these magazines together is like assembling a million little pieces of this and that and trying to make a cohesive whole out it. It's a frustrating process that hopefully pro- Pduces something that informs, entertains and in general brings about a feeling of satisfaction. So it must be for the Park planners who are now zeroing in on the unveiling of their "draft proposals" —those being the proposals that will show all of us the direction of the planners thinking and how that is going to affect our opportunity to have a Grand Canyon river trip experience. To say the NPS hasn't gone the extra mile, or in river running terms rowed 'round and 'round the eddy, to let all ideas get on board would be wrong. No planning process that I know of has received so much on going attention from it's constituents. More than 13,000 individual submissions with more than 55,000 comments. Now that's a pile of input to categorize and analyze. This issue of the Waiting List focuses on those comments, and on another effort of the NPS, the series of Stakeholder Meetings held in January and June. To be sure, at the Stakeholder Meetings not everything was "just right"— I didn't get to say "exactly" what I wanted to say, nor did anyone else, I'm sure. Hands were popping up all over the place. But most importantly, we were all heard. I urge you to take the time to read the summaries included in this issue. I'm also going to urge you to read the forthcoming (sometime after Christmas) NPS "draft proposals." This is where the meat is going to be found. You'll want to comment, you'll want the NPS to know what you think about how they pro- pose to mange the on river aspect of your park. How will the park address the big issues? Timely access and a feeling of being treated fairly, as an equal stakeholder amongst all the other constituents. A feeling that we private boaters don't currently enjoy. Will Park planners pile on regulation after regulation resulting in one group or another feeling as if they have been punished? Or will they figure a way around the quagmire that has held river runners fast in an antiquated system, essentially unchanged since 1979. The GCPBA Board is going to break into work groups to analyze each of the proposals—rumored to be eight or nine at the time of this writing and we'll report back to you what we think. We'll be paying particular attention to that "feel- ing of fairness." We are looking for a split of recreational allocation, commercial 50%—non-commercial 50% for starters. Read the proposals yourself and find out how close Park thinking comes to yours. Let the Park know what you think, and let us here in the GCPBA Tower know what you think. So many kudo's to the Park staff, from Superintendent Joe Alston, head planner Rick Ernenwein, Jeff Cross, Linda Jalbert and all those other folks from all the various departments in the GCNP for taking the seemingly very sincere time to work with all of us. In river metaphor, we're all getting ready to scout Crystal and move on down to Lava, we'll be there sometime in 2004. So here we are, pay attention, let's get on down to the big fun without any flips. Richard "Ricardo" Martin President, Editor, Grand Canyon Private Boaters Association y PS— We hope you can all join us in Salt Lake City for our annual meeting, Sunday afternoon, November 2nd. Details can be found elsewhere in this issue and in your mail box. We’re planning some kind of no host get together on Saturday night and hope to meet all you folks that can make it. PPS—the next issue of the Waiting List is underway. Hopefully we’ll have a lot to report concerning “draft proposals.” We’ll also feature a great two part story from Katie Lee and another from noted outdoor author and river runner, Pam Houston, some nice artwork from Julia Holland and Lee Bennion and reports about whatever’s happening in the river world we love. page four THE Waiting List A MATTER OF OPINION The Park Service Misses t’s late June, and I have just returned from the Park Service’s stakeholders meeting in Phoenix. I flew back to Washington, DC feeling disappointment in the content and scope of the two Idays of discussion, as well as the outcome. The three objectives of this meeting were to (1) clarify input received during scoping; (2) clarify areas of agreement and disagreement among participants on what the Park should include in a full range of reasonable alternatives for allocation and use of motorized boats in the CRMP Environment Impact Statement (EIS); and (3) promote good will among stakeholders and between stakeholders and the Park. I would be very surprised if these I would be very tion. As long as the focus was on meetings accomplished any of these goals. surprised if these recreational use issues, then that Further, if the Park learned anything new or meeting accomplished should have been the focus on the useful, then they are way behind the 8-ball in selection of participants. The the planning process.

The author also weaves in some of his early backpacking experiences. Copyright (c) Outdoors-Magazine.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike License Copyright © Outdoors-Magazine.com Page 1/21 Colin Fletcher, The Complete Walker and other titles This review will touch on Colin Fletchers works, classics of backpacking how-to and enjoyment. Colin had a profound impact on my early backpacking days and has remained one of my favorite authors. In some respects his work reminds me of Calvin Rutstrum...a couple of decades more modern, and instrumental in the new age of backpacking, but still having a mixture of how-to with wonderful books of dream trips that utilized his techniques. It is likely that most readers of this site are well acquainted with Fletcher's Complete Walker in at least one of its derivations, but his other less popular works are excellent in their own right and well worth seeking out.

It has occupied a criti- cal structural position in the western Cordillera since Mesozoic time. In the Cretaceous through early Tertiary, it stood just east and north of major fold and thrust belts and also marked the northern end of a broad, gently (~15o) north-plunging uplift (Kingman arch) that extended southeastward through much of central Arizona. Mesozoic and Paleozoic strata were stripped from the arch by northeast-flowing streams. Peraluminous 65 to 73 Ma granites were emplaced at depths of at least 10 km and exposed in the core of the arch by earliest Miocene time. Calc-alkaline magmatism swept northward through the northern Colorado River extensional corridor during early to middle Miocene time, beginning at ~22 Ma in the south and ~12 Ma in the north.
