Editor:

Kudos to Forest Folk for making the Idyllwild Shuttle Service a reality. And to Riverside County for providing the shuttle and van, but also for the diligent work of Reba Coulter and the board of Forest Folk.

This service is a godsend for seniors, the disabled and those without transportation. The local schedule from Pine Cove to Idyllwild makes life easier for so many.

At present, I am availing myself of the Tuesday schedule to the desert. Over the years, the drive down the mountain becomes more arduous. Now, with our expert driver, Bob Hinkle, I can relax and enjoy the scenery with the company of new neighbors and friends.

May this wonderful addition to our community be appreciated and patronized.
