Traffic counter at Evans?

[Fordzuki]

I was just up at Evans yesterday, and coming through the campgrounds I saw what looks like the traffic counters they put out on the roads. Now, I know the plan is for seasonal closures, but I guess what I'm wondering is, if they see enough traffic up there this winter, will they consider leaving it open next? :corn:

 

[TreeClimber]

If they see enough.... or too much?

 

[pokey]

Keep in mind that the "new" seasonal clouser is a wildlife habitat issue. They feel the animals are having a tough enough time in the winter without having to be disturbed by ORVs. There are some issues with erosion but mainly its the animals.

 

[Fordzuki]

I understand that, I was just wondering why they'd go through the trouble of tracking traffic.

Now see this just proves that you dont understand the way the FS and fish and wildlife work. :haha: There dosent actualy need to be any animals there just the potential for them. Using this logic millions of acres of FS land have been closed because of critters that have never been seen there. Its just that the area may look like someewhere they might like to live :booo:

Thanks Jim, but last time I called Bob was to volunteer my time to maintain the 1150 quad trail about 3 years ago. Still waiting on a call back on that one. :eeek:

well see this proves you need to be locked out of evens in the winter if you weren't up there scaring all the animuls away there would be animuls there...

 

[crash2]
