Don't kid yourself,
Winning is everything.
Word came Thursday Dec. 18, 2008, from our Federal Government in Washington DC, Trestles is Saved.
Saved for Good.
The greedy profiteers who would pave away the soul of everything good, lost. No doubt, they'll gasp and stew and grasp at straws to pave their useless toll road to nowhere somewhere, but not through San Onofre State Beach Park they won't.
To the 10's of 1000's of Trestles lovers and San Onofre lovers, and lovers of State Parks, lovers of wild places anywhere on this blue-green planet – YOU, who went to the wall for Trestles: Uppers, Lowers, Cottons, Church, Sano down to Trails, the whole ball of sandy, rocky wax: San Mateo Creek, San Mateo Campgound, San Mateo Watershed, Cristianitos Creek, Panhe Native American ancestral land, all together the last intact naturally perfect wet & wild coastal habitat left here. Yes the last. Is saved. Because you stood up for Good, and never sat down until we won. And we won.
There was no middle ground.
Winning was everything.
It will be a merry Christmas at Trestles because of you. As for Trestles, and the rest of Sano's wet & wild Yosemite of Surfing, it will be what it's always been; naturally perfect. And it will stay that way. Thanks to you standing up for Good. So the next time you walk the trails down to Trestles, or park at Ol'man's – no matter where you are there, take a long look around. You're part of it. And it's a big part of you, forever.
Good work. |
