The historic and audio-visual content of this web site depends heavily upon two resources prepared under National Park Service Challenge Cost Share Grants. These include:

1. The Online Trail Guide and companion Audio CD, which were developed by Dr. Greg Bernal-Mendoza Smestad, an 8th generation descendant of several members of the 1775-1776 Anza expedition, and;

2. The California grade-school curriculum, developed by the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation. Kathy Chalfant was a principle contributor to the curriculum and provided valuable assistance toward the creation of this web site.

Greg Smestad added immeasurably to this web site in a number of ways, most notably by greatly facilitating access to the wonderful collection of sound files that grace the Anza Trail Guide CD, many of which can be found on the Music & Sounds Section of this web site. Greg also made a number of recommendations regarding the site content, most of which were adopted, greatly improving what you find here today.

Others who helped in the site testing and/or made valuable comments, corrections and suggestions during the developmental stage of the Junior Ranger Web Site project include: Douglas Barteld, Thea Cremers, James Felland, Ed Leska, Andrea Morden, Bruce Morden, Allie Pressman, Jerry Pressman and Elaine Rymills.
