Secondly you hit it right on the mark that we give up entirely too much in the name of "homeland security". From our airports where at times it appears that this department went through the homeless shelters to fill the positions to the heads of such that feel the empowerment of GOD has given them both the right and duty to abuse anyone and everyone they choose in the name of freedom! While I agree we have a real concern for security, if we give up our freedom then what security have they really given to us!!

I read on scrippranch.org that the trail was officially to open on the 3rd of July. I have been so busy I haven't been there yet but want to hear good news of this opening for sure. Let me know what's up and how everyone likes the "New" "Old" Lake Miramar trail! Best to all! I am hoping to christen this myself this week, YEAH!!! Hey, is it officially opened across the dam now?

My guess is that they will open it on Wednesday for the 4th of July 10K, and it will remain open. I shot some pictures (so sad with all of the barbed wire) which I will post tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Does anyone know officially where the status is now? Please, PLEASE do post that here so those of us that have loved the 5-mile trek will have the chance to do that hopefully on our independence week! Ladies and all, make sure you are aware of your surroundings whereever you are! That is a lesson that I can never stress enough. It was my ex-wife that had the experience and the main gate when it was closed so I know from which I speak and the attemped perpetrator was not an illegal alien. As I have said before I have made the trek from my old house in Mira Mesa which was round trip 12.5 miles...it was wonderful and never had a bad experience with the mileage, just be very alert of your surroundings is my best advice! I AM SOOOO LOOKING FORWARD TO AN ENTIRE TRIP AROUND THE LAKE! Good news will be that it is open and we can again enjoy our own natural resource...best to all that enjoy this beautiful place! donnie So far I do not read here that the lake is officially opened as I am waiting for that time with eager anticipation!

It is a mile down to the lake and another back up the hill from my house. That would put my round trip total at 7 miles - Eek! I'll be the first to give it a go, though. By the way, the fence looks done, so it should be any day. Unfortunately, they left the one fence and added another (and topped both with barbed wire), so it gives the feel of recess at the State Pen. Oh, well. I guess we can't complain at this point.

I had heard from a friend that it was opening, but no one knew when. This will push me to do 5 miles (instead of 3-4) Yea! I’m SO glad to hear this.

Acces to the dam has always been easy from many directions so these types of "security" only seem to punish the regulay people that come to enjoy a valuable resource. My compliments to Maienschein for listening and acting on the input of what I am sure is many citizens that had mourned the loss of this very well used community resource. Thank you both again!

I was running "backwards" yesterday from my 4-mile gate when I encountered two women who stopped me to ask if the gate was open yet. You bring up an excellent point that more activity will make it a safer place in general. I admit that I spend my share of time looking over my shoulder on those quieter days you refer to, and, yes - It is sad it has to be so. Don – I am glad as well.
