Wake up folks..
The other side puts money and time into their beliefs while we argue Toyota vs Jeep vs Hummer.
The other guys hire lawyers while we argue about writting a letter.
This is a real shame but what will we do about it?
So no one thinks there's any merrit to this concern about silting of the streams?

I can't remember where I saw it but I know the local Trout Unlimited group has been trying to get the trails about the water shed closed for many years. TU has a lot of sway when it comes to these things due to it's members. Most chapters have a fair amount of retired people that want to John Muir their whole world. They are a mobilized and motivated army ready for a cause. Combine that with a few attorneys and other busy body types and this is what you get. I have seen some pictures of the heavily depleted trout habitat and it is more than disheartening. Without crystal clear water, trout (brookies in particular) can't live and the bugs they eat need clear oxygenated water to hatch. Dirty water means dead trout, it's as simple as that.But instead there are people who just don't like motorized recreation and will come up with lots of reasons, some real and some not so real to stop the fun.
