    Flooded Roads

    I did that drive two weeks ago, just before the week of rain. There was one spot that the water was bubbling up in the middle of Sandy Causeway like an artisan well. There was a clogged pipe under the road and must have had a crack. Water was bubbling up and flowing down the road.

    Wharton State Forest 1966 Visitor Map nearly identical to 2024 draft Visitor Map

    To be clear we are not talking about “unmanaged paths” as you call them. They are roads. Don’t be afraid to call them that here. Would you be for or against increased funding if it came with the stipulation that little or no roads would be closed?

    Wharton State Forest 1966 Visitor Map nearly identical to 2024 draft Visitor Map

    Why wouldn’t you be pushing for the roads to be repaired so they could be patrolled properly? Isn’t your initiative “Fix Our Parks” meant to do just that? If the Atsion mansion fell into disrepair would you be pushing for its demolition?
