[QUOTE="mark, post: 1327670, member: 16354"] I think we can all agree that they should have done all this "research", "planning" and "footwork" BEFORE they closed it. Then build/rebuilt new trails and open and closed things as they went along. They (the DNR) screwed up big time IMO with the course of action they have taken. I don't know why it was suddenly so important to shut it all down NOW, theeeennnn look into fixing the problem. Now they have alot of frustrated and angry wheelers and recreationists. Current budget crap doesn't help naturally. And yes, I also agree there is a metric ****-ton of Political and "higher up agenda" crap in play. But the lip service that Stan and the lady (who's name is escaping me at the time) who were the head DRN reps at this walk though was encouraging. Seems to me THEY have been tasked with the job of reopening ORV use at the "Reiter" area... whether they want to or not (they flat out said that the available areas in "Reiter" are not ideal to ORV use... but its what they have to work with). Whether or not the rug is pulled out from under them, or they have been set up for failure remains to be seen. But like I said, the lip service they gave us told me they are committed to doing it. Which is encouraging. Let me clarify a little bit of my previous assessment (that Mike quoted above). Just to make sure we are on the same page. It is my OPINION, that if they open up ANYTHING, even a small section this summer like they have stated there desires to. This could potentially make is more difficult to close it down again. From a political, physical etc standpoint. This is in comparison to just LEAVING it closed (it current state) for a longer, extended period of time that just makes it EASIER to bag the whole thing should budget, politics whatever come into play. Or another way of putting it, the longer its closed, the less optimistic I would be of ANYTHING opening. [/QUOTE]
