Peter Lewis- State Director, Backcountry Trails Porgram

[seabreezefreeze]

Peter Was a Great guy,he truly spoke from the heart.I first met him at Mendocino center, he came walking up to me with a big grin, shook my hand,then proceeded to roll that one sleeve up and he started to tell me about the back country trails program and said i had been referred to him by a supervisor,said think you can do it? I said sure can ! he then gave me a choice so i picked Yosemite (93). No doubt that Peter Lewis will be missed by those who knew him and those who know of him. Bryan Quick

Having learned that Peter has gone leaves me to believe that somewhere in heaven, God needed someone to motivate his angels. He will be missed very much and will be remembered for being an awesome human being. Raymee... Yosemite II of 1999.

Hey everyone, If you guys didnt know, the governor has proposed to eliminate the CCC. I strongly urge everyone who has been affected by the CCC to join my letter writing campaign

to the governor. The plan is 10,000 or more letters urging him

to reverse his proposal. Every letter counts, so please take 20 mins to write one. The address is: Arnold Schwarzenegger

State Capitol Building Sacramento, CA 95814. Please urge people to write. Thank you guys all for your support.

It was truly a pleasure to have met you. May God grant you the peace, that you had given so many of us. Peter lewis's lives on in us.

I met peter lewis and phillip lafayette in 93-94 great guys, also I went to yosemite backcountry in 94 hard to forget the people and the experinece so unique

[riotact14]

What a great video. Did you see those "perfect" step rocks? Oh how I miss rockwork and the trail community. I was fortunate enough to be a part of the 1995 Yosemite N.P. crew and still keep in touch with people that were on my crew way back when. The Backcountry Trail program was one of the highlights of my life and I will never forget it. Peter, thank you for having that that phone conversation with me that convinced me that I belonged there.
