Day 228 - The Coast
One of my favorite activities is piling gear into the ride and stopping at State and National Parks one after another. From the Redwoods in Northern California to Big Sur at the Central Coast all the way to San Onofre and out to Taquitz, there’s an abundance of natural beauty to absorb in the state where I presently live.

While there is still some West coastline left I’m setting aside a fund to help support the Park Rangers who have been cut back to part time recently. The fund works to fill in the gap on the State payroll so that people can keep trails safe, wilderness response up to par and check-in stations staffed. Today’s total is probably enough to run a fragment of the State system for a day.
So, instead, I’m putting the money into a fund and piling it’s interest into State coffers, earmarked for this purpose. The resource will also be accessible to people who want to raise more funds for this purpose. I’m sure one day society won’t need advocates for trees and recreation. But today, this feels like luxury combined with fulfillment to me.
