The real problem with reopening anything outside of the Negotiated Rule.. (Wood End, Herring Cove, etc.).. is that the Negotiated Rule would have to be re-opened.. when you look at the 20 plus "Interested Partys".. and see the Organizations listed.. you realize that would NOT be a good idea.. well over two thirds are anti ORV/people groups.. you would be lucky to have anything open for use, if they went thru the Negotiated Ruling process again.
The NPS #1 priority is preserving resources for future generations.. well.. as was said at the meeting.. that is all well and good, but if the current and future generations can't get out there to observe & enjoy them.. why bother?
Thanks to all in attendance, and Thanks Rich, and Bob, and others that spoke so well, and made some fine points.
