Cleaning out my stuff and found three early newsletters from the AAC Access Fund and two Friends of Joshua Tree newsletters. The JT letters discuss the proposed one-way loop road that fortunately never happened.

Hate to just toss them so if someone keeps this sort of material I would be glad to forward it to them. Interesting reading about access issues from 25 years ago, the song remains the same.

The AAC Access Committee was the predecessor to the Access Fund which split off from the AAC around 1992, so these documents are earlier than that.

Yes, the access battles go on and on, but the good news is that today's Access Fund has much more experience, ability, and resources to deal with them than it did back then. It has great volunteers, staff and leadership in Brady Robinson and the volunteer board. The annual report of the AF for 2014 just came out and its accomplishments in the last year alone are impressive:

Jon-Thanks for your support of the AF which apparently goes way back.

I think Access Fund membership should be required before you can call yourself a climber :)
