Here is our opportunity to review the plan linked below, give our comments to the FS as well as show our support for oHV. Please keep comments courtesy, specific to what agree with or do not agree with in the proposed plan, give reasons that support why you agree or disagree, put in special comments that are details from your personal perspective about what the area and trails mean to you and your family.

Please copy Jeff at Gursh1spud@aol.com when you send them in. This helps us create a route inventory of known trails that we should be keeping a close eye on and working to keeping our OHV rights to use them.

If you have a chance wear you red and attend a meeting, lets show everyong how important this area is to you.
