Two Days in Tucson

I will be spending the next two days at a board meeting of the Wyss Foundation in Tucscon. These are really intense meetings with lots of work to do. The are enjoyable because you get to help the people who really deserve it. The Foundation makes grants to local and regional environmental groups involved in pubic land protection. I will be back on Thursday to hit the trail again. The Foundation has been very generous in helping to protect New Mexico Wilderness Lands. Sometimes we should show our appreciation to the people who work so hard on these foundation staffs and boards. Philantrophy is what is keeping our lands protected in the West right now.
