[QUOTE="japerry, post: 1544955, member: 17178"] If you think 7 years of working on obtaining 'sanctioned trails' at Yacolt and 5 years of working through the process at Reiter is a sustainable solution or path forward, well I seriously question which group is sending us backwards. Northfork was/is an unfortunate situation where I bought up the problem of fairness to DNR, and instead of helping us, Mark Mauren dammed the mtn bikers. Northfork is the reason why I'm trying so hard to bring standards and fairness across groups. No group should easily get shutdown by DNR just because one individual makes a point about double standards. Did you even watch the video that they posted? THOSE ARE USER BUILT TRAILS! And they shouldn't have been shut down. While I might be new to the area, I'm not new to Yacolt. I wheeled as a passenger here back in 2002-2003. My cousins have lived in Ridgefield for most my life. I'm also not new to the process, laws, or policies in this state. I'm quite aware, and well versed on the Yacolt Rec Plan, the Phase I trail plan, the associated nova grants, lawsuit by Blythe, DNR response, and settlement around yacolt. I also see the same problem happening to Yacolt that we saw with Reiter.. this idea of making things bullet-proof, IE front-loading our construction costs in this misguided attempt to reduce maintenance. Its why the Trails plan was passed by the legislature in the first place. As trails get decommissioned and closed, per WAC 332-52, they're not legal to use anymore. But DNR's PC region told groups that trails were illegal in the Yacolt Burn, and no one stands up to them. Its a much different group down here than what we have fighting for us at Elbe. Despite promises to the contrary, DNR failed to launch 4x4 trails this summer at Yacolt. Again I ask -- do you think 200k grants every other year is a sustainable way to approach trails? I think not. And whats worse is that if DNR believes the Yacolt trails are good, then DNR might start spreading that process all over the state. We cannot let that happen. If you don't like the system, change it. Thats what a few of us are attempting to do. Its not a black eye, its moving forward. [/QUOTE]
