Comments Needed on Trail and Greenway

The county transit agency TAMC is holding an informational community meeting about FORTAG (Ft Ord Trail and Greenway) on June 18 at the Equestrian Center. The Center is located at 2830 5th Ave, Marina (on the route between EG and Trader Joe's).

The FORTAG bike trail will connect EG to CSUMB and Monterey. At the moment the trail is only funded to a point part way up Inter Garrison. Input from EG residents and friends will be vital to completing the trail all the way to EG. Hope to see you there on 6/18, drop-in 4:00 - 6:00pm.

Golden State Trail Run 6/21


On June 21 racers will gather at the Travel Camp to run distances from 10k to 50k!

According to their website, "Fort Ord National Monument is truly golden in the summer. Runners will be treated to rolling hills, vast fields of wildflowers, and varied terrain, including smooth single-track, sandy hills, and exposed fire roads." The website also reminds runners not to park on EG streets, but rather in the Travel Camp area.

Seems like they value our trails, just like we do. For more information go to insidetrail.com

Barter Fair at Marina Library


Another event happening on June 21 is a barter fair. According to the website a barter fair is a time to "Bring your handmade arts & crafts, homegrown produce, homemade food and/or skills to exchange with others in the community. Don't miss this opportunity to barter for unique items, share your skills with others and build relationships with fellow barter enthusiasts." Learn more at Monterey Peninsula Barter or sign up at their eventbrite page.
