Kathie Perry, president of the Western States Trails, gave a report on the state of the Tevis Trail. Her association has been active in advancing a Senate Bill that would designate the trail as a "National Historic Trail." In addition, she ad-dressed the problems that many of the previous equestrian trails are now being designated as "multi use" trails. She stated that all the trails in State Parks are now multi use. She encouraged letter writing by members to address these issues.

In addition, the Western States Trails Concession has taken over the Auburn Overlook Staging Area. They plan to ex-pand the facility with additional camping and equestrian amenities. They have asked users to include a $5 donation to help maintain the area, as it costs the group over $7000 a year to maintain.
