The Wednesday, October 28th issue of the Marin I-J says that all six of Marin's State Parks will be closed at least periodically because of the state's budget woes. Some of these closures will impact our Meandering in Marin hikes. It looks like we'll need a new starting point or a "Plan B" hike for next Tuesday, November 3rd, when we planned to hike from Bootjack parking lot on Mt. Tam to West Point Inn and then on to the Mountain Theater, since the Bootjack parking lot will be closed. Standby for an update on this outing. The only other Fall 2 session hike that could be affected by the closures include the one at China Camp State Park (November 10).
Our Winter and Spring hikes on Mount Tam may be limited to areas below the Ridgecrest, since it looks like the state is closing road access to the top of the mountain on weekdays. We usually hike in Olompali State Park during the Spring, but this year the park will be closed weekdays as will Tomales Bay State Park.
The closures will be in effect through the current fiscal year which ends June 30, 2010.
