Superintendent’s Notes <strong>continued</strong>...<br />
people. Thank you to those of you who have held fast with me. Your support, as seen in all the<br />
spokes, has and will continue to make the park strong. The rocks placed in the path of the wheel<br />
have also helped to make it stronger. With these challenges the strength of the wheel is tested, and I<br />
believe, the strength will keep the wheel holding fast to its course.<br />
Thank you especially to Tierra Del Sol, who through its partnership, has become like family to<br />
me. The wheel award means more than you can ever know.<br />
Blowsand Reader Survey<br />
Thank you to everyone who took the time to fill out our survey. There appears to be some<br />
confusion as to the purpose of the newsletter. It started as a means to communicate to the internal<br />
OHV staff what had happened at Ocotillo Wells SVRA during the months covered. After receiving<br />
some excellent comments, we hope to expand our electronic distribution to the public and also<br />
expand our articles to include information for and about our visitors. At the same time, we plan to<br />
include information about upcoming events.<br />
Because OW’s riding season is primarily late October through April, and seasonal staff departs<br />
in April, we reduced the number of issues from six to four two years ago. Staffing limitations will<br />
require us to continue with four issues a year for now. The four issues are: May-October (our<br />
summer issue), November-December, January-February, and March-April. Each publication is<br />
released approximately the third week of the month after the end of the issue month, i.e., the<br />
summer issue is released about the third week of November.<br />
Watch for changes and enhancements to the newsletter during the next year, and keep<br />
sending your comments and suggestions!<br />
