[QUOTE="KarlVP, post: 1480768, member: 16136"] Dear Mr. Vanpetten: Thank you for your email and for sharing with me your concerns regarding the closure of the North Fork trail system. I understand and appreciate your concerns, both for the loss of this area to mountain biking, as well as a potential impact to tourism in our area. This decision has been made by the Department of Natural Resources outside of any discussion with the County. I have spoken with DNR staff and relayed your concerns regarding this issue. I'd like to take a moment to commend the efforts of various mountain biking groups, and other recreational enthusiasts, in their hard work to provide these trails and many others throughout the county. I encourage you to continue to work with DNR (and Whatcom County on county-owned property) to develop approved trail plans on all existing and potential new sites eliminating future conflicts. While Whatcom County tourism relies on the work of entities that provide marketing and money, it is also dependent, in no small degree, to grassroots efforts and service groups that bring to the table the kind of energy and passion you have. Sincerely, Jack Louws County Executive [/QUOTE]
