Given the support and friendship you have all provided in the past, we sincerely hope you will feel a personal sense of pride for the year’s accomplishments and a sense of excitement for what we can achieve together in the year, and years, to come. “In reflection, this note cannot continue without first acknowledging the sad, passing of the fellow who, more than any other individual, was responsible for the vision of the ODT and the founding of the Peninsula Trails Coalition—Mike Langley. We feel his loss deeply, but we also take pride in knowing how successful we continue to be in pursuing that vision of Mike and his fellow founders.” I won’t take time and space to list the many items of progress during 2022, other than to say that we are successfully, if slowly, growing our organization and that the year has included quite a bit of table-setting for progress in 2023 and beyond. In 2023 you’ll be hearing from us about: * A new trail being added in eastern Clallam County * The nitty gritty advance work being done to add further ODT in ‘24 & ’25 (and beyond) * Trail maintenance staffing * Some precedent setting work we have begun, on a regional basis, to further not only the ODT vision, but also its integration into the cross-country Great American Rail-Trail. <https://email.mg.olym picdiscoverytrail.org/c/eJxdT8FuhSAQ_Bo5ElxA9MChTdPfMLCij0blBbDm_X1Xm16a7GZ2drKTnWDbzkAHRoNik0U56MGzaEGAFK0gUKTwjpgMpusnIXQ_qEaJbeFpfW3PiFMsmL5DftXs4spTXti6rONGJO7LGKdGvzf6w14AIDtoqWmiHVvto9ZnaeRbA59 U53nyy6XUdLuVy472Sw6uui3kiG6_hFslIaejBkKW7VeYZ58Q6TlM_GIhl7Tz0_GjsGodYjr2Oraml5I9LHj0apZCy-CkGrxwGp2cAogZjQe8U_wd_Utxe_xm-AGvyGNQ> This all amounts to a wonderful way to be celebrating your 35th Anniversary year.
