2002 Vision Quest Finishing Times And After Event Thanks
Friends, Thank you all for your support of the 2002 Mountain Bike Pow Wow.
It is our hope that you were
reconnected to the land in which we feel privileged to ride upon. It is our goal
to open your eyes to that which cannot be seen but only felt; the love of the
Great Spirit of which the beauty of the forest testifies. It is also important
that you realize how precious your freedom is and volunteer your time
maintaining the forest to protect that freedom. If the Warrior’s Society
accomplished this and inspired you to get involved then the Forest will be in
good hands. The Warrior’s Society would like to thank the following individuals and organizations that helped to make the Pow Wow possible: The U.S. Forest Service and Rangers Karla Gallegos and Lee “OK’s Event” Di Gregorio. The Orange County Search and Rescue Team, who gave us the peace of mind knowing the riders would be taken care of if they got into trouble Warrior’s Society member Ron “Leads Many Warrior’s” Cooke for being our Communications Director and teaching us how to do an event right. Geriann Vargas and Becky Vargas for being camp bosses and making sure you’re taken care of once you got back. Fellow Club members, who worked from Thursday through Saturday non-stop getting ready for the event and acted as support. Our many support volunteers who manned the aid stations, cooked, registered participants, drove trucks, or helped back at camp.
