"Groups hoping they’ll need a new sign at the Lava Beds National Monument Visitor Center took a step forward in ongoing efforts to rally Congressional support for having Lava Beds redesignated as a national park.

“Gather around the Lava Beds sign, but block out the ‘national monument’ part,” joked Patrick Taylor, Lava Beds’ Chief of Visitor Services, when the 23 people touring the park on April 11th gathered for a group photo.

Included in the group were Shane Starr, district representative for California Rep. Doug LaMalfa, whose Congressional district includes Lava Beds, and Tom Paulino, field representative for California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, it was a first-ever visit to Lava Beds. They were joined by tourism officials and business leaders from Siskiyou, Modoc, Klamath, and Lassen Counties. A growing coalition of groups are increasing efforts to designate Lava Beds as a national park, a change that requires Congressional approval." (visit link)
