Reiter users pool: Do you have a discover pass?

japerry · Nov 14, 2011

With the state announcing that they aren't making enough money from the discover pass, it makes me wonder if its partially due to the lackluster access.
As they said themselves, if they close parks, it will only make the number of discover passes go down.

So specifically, for past Reiter users, how many of you have purchased a discover pass? How many have not?

Mark m. · Nov 14, 2011

I have one and thats all I'm buying.

Not Jobless · Nov 14, 2011

I'll buy one when they ticket me for not having one.

mark · Nov 14, 2011

I have (1) so far, bought it for the off chance I have an opertunity to make it up to Walker.

Got ORV tabs for the wheeler. But we've already had threads about that.

I have no intent or desire to buy another D-pass until I'm forced to for whatever reason. And am hopefull the Leg. will get off there asses and make it transferable the way it should be.

Purchsed one---got one for volunteer hours....At this point that's all I'm buyin...

I have one for the DD and probably won't buy any more untill they give us more wheelable area in Wa.!!!!!:stirpot::stirpot:

I have three. One on each Grand and one for the tow rig. I agree whole heartedly in more access for more passes. Old Reiter proves a world class ORV area can exist successfully without the government spending one dime on it. If DNR simply allowed ORV ise to happen and focused 100% of it's "enforcement" on the presence of a pass in the vehicle in question they could make an awfully large amount of money.

Three rules understood with the purchase of a Discover Pass. You never ORV in protected wilderness. You never cut down a tree. You never ORV within 100 yards of a private residence. Thats it.

I'd support that.

japerry · Nov 14, 2011

heh the crux of the idea is to find out how many people are not buying passes because they either a) don't know about it (unlikely on this board) or b) don't wheel legally anymore because there isn't an area the suits their needs.

One would wonder if you could get another couple thousand passes by relaxing enforcement on some 'grey areas' if people had discover passes? Sorta a chicken-and-egg issue.. don't wanna buy a pass if you can't use it, can't get a place built if you don't have the money.. ugh.

I think that if parks closes it wouldn't hurt pass sales, If you look at the stats that are around. Parks is falling behind of the nimbers that they said they could do, But I think that they have the ability to do so. So far the pass is only about $ 400,000 off pace per month

Do I have passes. yep 4 of them

Binder · Nov 14, 2011

None.

whatthe? · Nov 14, 2011

None, and I won't buy until they're transferable. Catch me if you can.

War-Jeeper · Nov 14, 2011

One for now for me only place i use it is walker though so next year i may just skip out on it

Little Red Zuk · Nov 14, 2011

None at the moment. So far I've just avoided state lands, and only been up to Walker recently for work parties.

zuk88 · Nov 14, 2011

I bought two.

Oil can · Nov 14, 2011

got two. one was free and paid for the second.

Corey Y · Nov 14, 2011

If I was parked in the old Reiter parking lot with a pass on my tow rig, would I get a ticket?

wheelinjp · Nov 14, 2011

we have bought 2. pisses us off as havent seen anyone ticketed yet. Everywhere we go there is the majority of users without them. Its just a technicality on the path to full woods closure. the gov's way of putting it on US for closures. its working. :awesomework:

unclestripey · Nov 14, 2011

I've got one I paid for and and almost enough hours fer a freebie. I leave the one I have in the tow rig, cuz I know tickets get written at Walker. If I want
to go wheelin and not get hassled I need a pass, so I bought one, simple as that.
