Love that TOYOTA
So they are going to increase law enforcement at Reiter. I think this is a good thing. Bout time they did something. Is is really going to happen this time? Are all the law abiding wheelers who stay on the trails and burn their campfires in drums off the ground going to lose out?
YES.
However, we CAN fight to keep things respectable at Reiter. I no longer have the time or inclination to do much of anything to promote our hobby. [Let me iterate: I'm back on Active duty and I really don't have time to spend. I really want to be involved, I just can't be] I spent the last 3 years of my life busting my ass with every user group possible and got very little done Govern-mentally. Which was just as I expected.
The problem is, there are different user groups inside the community. You can go to Reiter in your stock 4x4 land rover and have a blast, and you can go out like the local EBP and become bored.
The questions and answers I have are simple. EVERYONE bitches because we have a small few doing very little. This is true. We have a SMALL FEW working with THOSE WHO ARE THEY. While we have the MAJORITY of folks wheeling wherever. Whether hardcore EBP, or someone who just wants to dink around for the day.
THE PROBLEM IS THERE IS 98% **** TALK AND 2% Getting things done. That's how it is. Everyone has a problem and nobody has a solution.
You can talk all day in committees, groups, and forums. But who is getting things done?
Sadly, RTW is not and has not Met it's own goals. YES, they have had a few work parties in 3 years, AND have maintained good Government relations, they are also the group which maintains the cleanups. All of which are good things. But there are many **** talkers and not many doers in the group.
When it boils down to brass tax. The things that need to be done to keep everyone happy never will bel. And the arguments on an internet forum will continue.
The government doesn't give two shits about you, The Respected Wheeling Community is taken care of by the "little" folks. Kim Gunter, David Way, Elyse Fleenor, Nancy Barker, Ron Whitehall. They have zero to little say in the upper echelon of LAND USEAGE. What do they want? Hours for projects or time that you put into the area. YOU CAN'T EVEN ****ING DO THAT.
There are simple things that the DNR ASKS THE COMMUNITY FOR. And the community doesn't respond. RTW as a whole and a group BARELY meets these requests.
RTW is doing what it can. 10% of its members are 100% dedicted. The rest are WORTHLESS.
Submit a time sheet, then bitch.
THIS COMMUNITY AT REITER IS WAY MORE THAN ****ED. It's DISASTROUS. I 100% Commited my time and effort, and while I know it takes more than a little bit to convince the government that we are doing right, the only ones I know that are 100% committed are Kat and Rhonda.
Wheel Reiter while you can, Because when I get back from Deployment, it will probably be a mine/salmon hatchery.
YES.
