Friends,
Thank you all for your support of the 2003 Mountain Bike Pow Wow.
As always, 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.
Our club photographer John Early has posted stills and VR movies of the event on his web site at:
www.earlyphoto.com/powwow/
John will also be posting DV stuff soon so check back if it's not posted.
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 Judy Behrens and Virgil Mink.
The Orange County Search and Rescue Team, who gave us the peace of mind knowing our participant's would be taken care of if they got into trouble.

Event Co-Director Jesse "Fights The Oak" Vargas for doing most of the pre-and after event work due to my illness.
