A group of us in Whatcom County have been working to gauge the varying interests of 4x4 users around Northwest Washington. After seeing whats happening at Reiter, we think it'd be good to get some good metrics to throw at DNR in regards to ORV use.

Please take a moment to fill this out, your information is confidential, and personal information is optional.

Thanks!

So I'm kind of curious of who the ORV Alliance is........and what they are about.

:?


This is what bothers me......

"If you'd like more information about private ORV park opportunities, or to join in the cause for an ORV park in NW washington, please give us some details below."

I think the idea of private orv parks is great - IF WE HAVE NO OTHER OPTION. But I'm not going to show my support of something like that UNTIL I have NO other wheeling areas available to me.

I would much rather put my money towards donating and volunteering to the forest service or DNR or BLM or towards fighting to keep our trails open to the public.

But the last thing I want to convey is that I would rather spend my money on a private park than do the things that I am doing. This just makes me think of a lot of other states that don't have open wheeling areas. That is not what I want.

In my opinion letting it be known that we as wheelers would be "ok" with paying fees at a private park instead of our open wheeling areas is a bad idea.

I will not be taking this survey.

ok.....so I did some digging around and found the threads behind the survey,
and found that I was interpreting things a little off base after reading them.

But I still hold my opinion that I would rather see the enthusiasm and energy being put into put into our current battles before opening a private orv park.

Here's the threads.
