yes, the plan is to have a reciprocal agreement w/the DNR. 70% of fees from trail passes bought from Dane Cty Parks will go to Parks. My understanding of this is that if you buy your trail pass in Verona, none of the money will go to Dane County Parks. >>> >Only hubris makes bikers regard themselves as more worthy than >dog walkers, skiers, mountain bikers and horseback riders - all >of whose fees are increasing. ><< >It has been a long term position of The Bicycle Transportation Alliance >of Dane County that all transportation users should be fairly assessed >for the societal impact of their transportation choice.

(And by the way, horseback >riders are not allowed on the Capital City Trail.) I think they are referring to the fees for ski trails, horse trails, and mountain bike trails at other parks (e.g. Lake Farm, Cam-Rock). _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies
