STAGECOACH RIDE FOR THE CHILDREN 1998 PROPOSAL As a pre -event to Wyatt Earp Old West Days, it is our intention to run an authentic horse drawn stagecoach, from the Box Springs park in Moreno Valley Ca. To the MT View Cemetery in San Bernardino, Ca. This run will be done in such a way as to raise money for THE ROY ROGERS AND DALE EVANS HAPPY TRAILS CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION FOR SEVERELY ABUSED CHILDREN, and to raise awareness for, Wyatt Earp Old West Days, an event that is going to take place 2 weeks after this ride, also being done to raise money for the Happy Trails Foundation. ROUTE The ride will commence at the Box Springs Park at the main gate on Hidden Springs Rd. (note! This park is the location of Wyatt Earp Old West Days, and the site of an original Butterfield Stage Stop.) The ride will then proceed East on Hidden Springs to Sunnymead Ranch Rd. At Sunnymead Ranch Rd. the stage will turn right and proceed in an easterly direction to Heacock Ave. At Heacock Ave. the stage will make a left turn and proceed in a north easterly direction to the intersection of Reche Vista, Heacock and Perris Blvd. At this intersection the first stage stop will be set up. Passengers will disembark and new ones will board while the horses rest and are watered. Then the stage will proceed north on Reche Vista over the hill to Reche Canyon. At Reche Canyon the stage will go left still proceeding north. At approximately 1 mile down the Reche Canyon the stage will have its second stop where passengers will disembark and new ones will board while fresh horses are hitched up. Then the stage will proceed down Reche Canyon to the next stop at the Country Store. Once again passengers will disembark and new ones will board. After refreshing the horses the stage will continue on Reche Canyon to the corner of Reche Canyon and Washington Blvd. This will be the site of another stop where passengers disembark and board.
