See you on the 18th of May. Until then, m,y very best regards to all NCTA people. Bob Dreis

See you there I By the way, you can plan to stay over and bike that part of the trail near our head­ quarters. The trail here has been marked and matntatned by the Grand Rapids Chapter. There is plenty of room for primitive camping at the headquarters property too, if you are so inclined.

But time rolls by •••

Our May 18th meeting at our head­ quarters in the Manistee National Forest is fast approaching. We sincerely hope for a great turnout Elsewhere in this NEWSLETTER the tentative schedule should be print ed. As you can see, we have a lot of ground to cover. Please note that we will brown-bag it for lunch at noon.

Greeting to all NCT members! Now that the snow is gone, the whisperings to wander become louder and louder. By the time you-all read this, I hope to have had m,y first 1985 overnight back­ packing hike. To me, a couple of days in the "quiet places" become a tonic that restores both soul and body.

This writer would like very much to do more, see more,~ more, by whatever other means possible. The NOTA Boa.rd of Directors has never had full complement from each of the seven states. I look forward to the time when each state will list five active members and boast of at least one of them being present at every semi-annual meeting. It wuld be nice to see the entire membership of every trail organ­ ization along the route of NOT be a member or each other's organi­ zation. That is to say, for example, that the entire NCTA membership be members of the Buckeye, Western Pennsylvania, Keystone, American Youth Hostels, Finger Lakes, Allegher;i.y Hiking and Ooyoga Associations, and that the membership of each of those groups be members or NOTA. In other words, to say that each of us as an organization have each member of the others as indtvidual members and not just the organi­ zation as a single unit. Membership in Buckeye, for example, means membership in NCTA and vice versa. Since the Revolutionary War of 1716 set the basic tenor in independencE for us and the Civil War of 1885 established some reasonably limiting field markers and our system of government for 200 years and a budget of cosmic magnitude has been experimenting with guidelines trying to show everyone in the universe how, and how not, to accomplish it, let us of the trail org&nization show them how it can be done. See tt thie way, ft was the Indian path system of thts hemisphere that we followed to achieve access to this bright, beautiful and bountiful. land. The hiking trails associations in this country has expanded them. We can now develop and use that improved system to further improve our­ selves and the whole world in the partaking of this magnificant bounty.

(Continued on Page 7)

Those of us who have been associated with the NCTA since it's beginning in 1980 are acutely familiar with the problem or an antagonism between form.er NOTA organizers and established other trail org~izations. Unfortunately this antagonism has resulted in a certain lack of cooperation that is now five years old. Most or us that are now active in all organizations do not even know the facts of the matter; it ts something like the legendary Hatfields and McCoys. This lack of cooperation has not affected the health and welfare or those out-standing and strong, traditional groups, perhaps. It has, however, seriously affected the growth and development of NOT & NCTA. We have grow, of course, and will continue to, however slow this may be. We have also matured significantly with sincere, dedicated and reasonable officers and membership. It would be nice to grow faster, non-the-less, with the help of those know­ ledgeable, long-established, other groups. Attempts to overcome the impasse has been made by a sharing of Newsletters, by personal contacts with members and officers of other groups at meetings and with the help of Tom Gilbert.

We should very much enjoy having your individual club members on our tours and, particularly, designing a specific itinerary for a club visit to Britain.

It may also be of interest to them to learn that we regularly arrange vacations for groups to other parts of Britain e.g. Scotland, Wales, the Cotswolds and Cornish coast.

Other projects are moving forward, albeit slowly. We have now dis­ tributed NCT markers to all organizations and agencies managing offi­ cial segments of the trail. In addition, we have received certifica­ tion applications for tvo new segments of trail totaling 11 miles. Continuing efforts to establish new segments should generate more applications in the near future. Pat Allen and I have pledged ourselves to having a good "first cut" version of the NCT slide show at the May 18 meeting. We will be soliciting conunents from members. We also hope to have some pre­ liminary materials relating to the brochure.

John Hipps may wish to announce the availability of this document from both our Office and yours in the next newsletter. By the time the new1- letter comes out, we should both have adequate supplies. He should note in the announcement that those people who already have a set of the maps or a copy of the NCT management plan should request .smll, the "descriptive information package" which accompanies the maps.

The information in the docwnent should prove to be very helpful in facilitating use of the NCT by potential users. It now is probably the most comprehensive package of information available on the entire trail. It is unlikely that the National Park Service will ever pro­ duce more detailed information about the trail than ts provided in thii document. The next improvement in detailed information should be in the form of privately prepared and published maps, brochures, and guidebooks. The management plan places responsibility for these items on the cooperating private sector interests (see pages 31-32 for polic~ and guidance). Some cooperating organizations already have maps of their segments, the sale of which is an important source of income to them.

At long last, I have completed a package of descriptive information about the North Country National Scenic Trail (NCTJ to accompany the map sets we distribute to the public. Enclosed is a copy for your information. In about 3 weeks, I expect to have a large quantity reproduced and will supply 100 or more to Ginny Wunsch to be mailed out with the map sets I previously furnished her. The copies will be printed tvo-sided to reduce the size and the weight of the docu­ ment.

A.fter the membership meeting and dinner on Saturday evening, the program featured our own Tom Gilbert, Omaha, Nebraska, Coordinator NCTA, with the Department of the Interior National Parks Service. Hopefully, Ohio will host one of our NCTA semi-annual meetings and more of our members can enjoy the wonderful hiking trails that Ohio has to offer.

There was a square dance Friday night, followed by rei'reshments. F.arly Saturday A. M., Pat Ellis, Columbus, conducted a bird walk and Bob Bemus, Coshockton, Bob Pond, Newark, Bob Glotzhober, Columbus and Vole Vore, Coltunbus, conducted eye opener hikes and hikes of various lengths and difficulties throughout the day. ·

These comments are addressed to the hundreds of thousands of us vho so believe and vho so live. I especially address them to the hundreds of leaders among us vhose particular interest, expertise and devotion consumes a tmiverse of time and energies. These efforts can be more fruitful and more revarding vhen expended in cooperative efforts in the ways suggested in this essay, and hoped for in vays not imaginable by one head alone but conceivable by the creative combination of us all With all respect to each trail organization everyvhere, I.will say that there are none anywhere than in Nev York, Pennsylvania and Ohio that has as much trail action going. As a bred, bom and reared son of Keystone Mountain Country, I.will boast that Pennsylvania be nominated as the Keystone of the NCT even though the lesser number of miles traverses it's northwestern corner and membership is the smallest. Pennsylvania can boast al.so of three of the eight National Historic and Scenic Trails in the United States; the Appalachian, the Potomac Heritage and the North Country Trail.

NOW, LOOK AT THIS

homas L. Gilbert Coordinator, North Country ational Scenic Trail

Sincerely, I look forward to seeing you all in May.

ram the foregoing, you should be able to glean some input to the May 1 meeting agenda and think about how we might spend some time together in discussions before and/or after the meeting. Through copy of this letter, John Hipps should be able to assemble some pertinent materials for the newsletter.

Although I have not yet decided my travel plans for the May meeting {n White Cloud, my thinking at this point would be to arrive on Thursday or possibly Friday to assist Pat Allen in preparing for the slide show and brochure presentations. If I arrive on Thursday, then on Friday I would like to meet with you and appropriate others during the latter part of th~ day or evening to formulate a rough plan for strength­ ening the North Country Trail Association (NCTA) and its membership. I will also be around on Monday and Tuesday and possibly Wednesday, after the meeting. One day will probably be devoted to a meeting in Lansing with the Michigan State parks Director. I understand from Ginney that Ruth Sack and ~ossibly herself will be at the annual Buckeye Trail Association (BTA) meeting in Ohio, April 26-28. These types of contacts are important and very much needed if NCTA is to develop a profile that will.enable it to take its proper place among other organizations in the trails community. Since I will be speaking at the Ohio meeting, I will look forward to having preliminary discussions about membership enhancement with Ruth and I will facilitate discussions of cooperation between NCTA and BTA to the best of my ability.
