I originally posted this message and it was closed because of the pot stirring. The person in DNR I have been speaking with is Randy Acker. He was not at the meeting but is the boss of all the DNR people that were. He does not feel that we have damaged YOUR relationship with DNR. I am sure my relationship with Nancy it ruined. BUT NOT YOURS. All of you clearly have a opportunity to get involved with the park and show Nancy your support.
Randy Acker likes a lot of your ideas. He understands our sport. He wants to see the park stay challenging and he wants to see the park and Nancy succeed.
WE ACCOMPLISHED WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO. They understand our concerns and realize that a lot of you care about the trail system. Now we need to do what is needed. We need to support Nancy by showing up to work parties and spreading the word that DNR wants to help.

I did my best to try to save what I loved. I'm still Trying to do that. I hope that you all can see that I am only trying to help our situation. You have a clear opportunity at Elbe Hills with Nancy Barker. Please give her the support she needs.

I do not plan on staying on the political end of this any longer. Its up to all of you to step up and make a difference. This is a clear opportunity for everyone.

Please I ask all of you that like to stir the pot, this is not a Band Aid. This is attempt to get everyone to work together for the same goal. You guys that like to stir the pot and sit on the other side of the fence have a clear opportunity to lead this in a positive direction. I am hoping you can step up and set your anger aside and do that. This is a clear opportunity for our sport and our Association.


This was the original message that was posted and closed for pot stirring.

Please pass this information on to others as much as possible
It will help us more if we get the word out so please pass it on to your friends and email it everyone you can

Elbe Hills Orv Park Update

I want to thank everyone for coming to the last focus meeting.
A lot of good has come from it and a lot has happened since the meeting.
One thing I have found out is that NANCY BARKER is not our enemy.
She is actually committed to bringing the park to a level that will provide the best possible experience to everyone.
Dnr has stated that they want to encourage people to be involved in meetings and work parties.

Since the meeting there has been some really good ideas and suggestions that could bring solutions to the problems with The Busy Wild trail.
I have had a lot of communication with upper level Management of DNR and have been educated as to how things work.
I recognize that DNR has a difficult road ahead trying to figure out how to provide a safe and pleasant and challenging experience for all of us and also deal with the environmental and resource impacts of our sport.

I now believe that Nancy Barker is doing her very best for all of us.

The last couple of months I did my very best to get a lot of people to show up and fight DNR to stop the Wheel base restriction.
Dnr saw that a lot of you also cared about the busy wild.

After speaking to DNR a lot and learning how things work I suggest we try to work with DNR and Try to build a working Relationship with them. I don
 
Thanks for all that you have done Steve.

I don't want to be at the end of the rope either, but i will say i try to attend meetings when possible and voice my opinion and help out too. It's tough with family, no sitters and more personal details than i will share.

but thanks for all the things you have already done with Elbe.

Like Steve mentioned, if you want to be involved with Elbe? Then attend meetings, take part in work parties / clean-ups or anything that elbe will benefit from. if you don't take part in things, then it's up to others.
 
Keep the drama down or this will close also.

We dont need the bandwagon jumpers in this thread either.


:cool:
 
I think that if you feel that is the best choice it is OK with me. I'm looking for the best possible outcome. I have emailed this message to over 1000 contacts all with a link to this page. I also had 2500 fliers printed and have already started distributing them.
I do appreciate the people that keep this board going. It is the best one and want to say Thank you .

If you want to lock it up. You know this board better than me. I 'll leave it up to you.
Thanks

Well, if I lock it, but not delete it will keep the message up and no drama. Steve do you want me to do that?

Thanks

Don't lock it up or it'll get lost in the dust bunnies of yesteryear. Leave it unlocked. If it gets posted in it'll stay alive.
 
As long as steve keeps his word about staying out of this for now on I will leave it alone. But as my poll shows it seems most people are more interested in the truth. Thats a bit differant from any bandwagon riding
