Tails From The Pacific Crest Trail
REACH Air Medical Services coordinated an educational visit with Julian Elementary and Junior High. The shiny red helicopter, with “REACH” emblazoned across its side, landed on the Junior High baseball field shortly after recess with the whole school watching. This exercise was coordinated with the Julian-Cuyamaca Fire Department, which had two emergency vehicles and crews waiting. Students got to tour an all-weather rescue copter equipped with night vision goggles, as well as an ambulance and fire truck. The purpose was to explore school safety assets and expose youth to emergency vehicles/assets in a stress-free environment. Thank you, REACH and JCFPD, for donating your time and talent.

Secrets Of The Pacific Crest Trail Revealed
Local hiking enthusiast Dana Law will share his adventures on and tips for hiking the legendary Pacific Crest Trail with Julian Library patrons at a special presentation on Tuesday, March 3rd at 6pm. The trail starts in San Diego County at the Mexican border near Campo, and continues through the greatest elevation changes of any of America’s National Scenic Trails before eventually reaching Canada. Along the way it passes through scorching desert, old-growth redwoods, coastal rainforests, arctic-alpine country, volcanos, and other eco-zones. Every year approximately 500 people attempt to hike the entire trail in a single season. Thousands hike sections of it, some with the goal of eventually covering all of its 2650 miles. That is Law’s ambition. A professional magician and mindreader, the El Cajon resident covered the first segment of the trail in March of 2003. Since then he has completed more than 2476 miles over the course of 29 separate trips, reporting on his experiences at pctdanalaw. blogspot.com. In August, 2014, he completed his last section – 288 miles from Windriver Road in Southern Washington to Stevens Pass, Washington. His last section will be in August of 2015. From his blog: “I’ll arrive at the Canadian border next year! Next August 17th I’ll start my 30th and last section on the Pacific Crest Trail. I’ll leave Stevens Pass where I stopped last August and walk 193 miles to the Terminus, about 10 days of hiking. My family will meet me at Manning Park on the Canadian side. It’s been a wonderful adventure. It’s bittersweet to think it will end. I’ll keep you posted in the run up to the last section and alert you to my upcoming talks about the trail.” Law’s 90-minute multimedia talk should interest both armchair adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts who may be interested in one day experiencing some of or the entire trail. He will cover such topics as: • What it takes put your “house” on your back. • What food, fitness, and gear are indispensable? • How to train for the trail. • What are the biggest dangers? • How to experience the trail in digestible segments. “Most San Diego residents aren't aware the Pacific Crest Trail starts in their backyard and runs 2650 miles all the way to the Canadian border,” said Law. “The library is an ideal place to

The kids always do a great job representing Julian. Julian Youth Baseball is currently working with San Diego County and Jess Martin Park Board to get a batting cage at Jess Martin Park. The county as some funds set aside for the batting cage but we are currently working out details. JYB hopes to raise more money through fundraising and sponsors to make it happen.We are so grateful to the park board and county for all they do to keep a beautiful, clean, and amazing park for the residence and youth of Julian. We are in need of volunteers to join our board and keep this great past time alive in Julian. The current positions that need to be filled are player agent, Vice President, umpire coordinator, and safety officer. This is also the last season that Kimberly Mitchell will be Commissioner and Cindy Sanders will be treasurer. They have done so much and have donated so much time and effort into the organization that their presents will be missed. If anyone is interested in volunteering for any board positions please contact Kimberly Mitchell at 760.791.0940. Big thank you to the business and people that support this great organization. Baseball... As American As Apple Pie!
