The National Park Service has closed the equine trail over Big and Little Round Top. The closure will be in effect from now through the winter and into spring. Apparantly, with all the rain we recieved this fall the trail has been considered hazzardous and unsafe. Click on this PDF File to down load a revised trail map ~2747474

3/11/2011 - VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – The ideal retirement might go something like this (cue dreamy music): First off, there would be a big ceremony with a good turnout including leadership and distinguished visitors in attendance. Everyone would stand at attention as the retiree receives medals commemorating a long and fruitful time in service. Some might even shed a tear. After that would be retirement on a ranch, enjoying the peace of nature and the company of long-time friends. Food would be catered every meal and everyone would be treated like royalty. All of the retirees there would be sure to help out with the community when they could. Most people would probably be more than satisfied with that type of retirement, as would most horses.
On March 14, military working horses Judge and Willie will experience that leisurely dream-come-true ceremony as they retire from Vandenberg’s 30th Security Forces Squadron at Missile V here after a combined 32 years of service. They will live out their days at the Jack Auchterlonie Memorial Equine Sanctuary located in Twentynine Palms with their already retired brothers and sisters (Duke, Sarge, Alamo and Lady Justice). Once there, Judge and Willie will assist in activities ranging from equine therapy for disabled individuals to rehabilitation of other horses that are brought into the sanctuary. Continue reading →
