    Recreation in the Pines... My thoughts

    Russell , Come on we back to that.... That is where the state and the conservation orgs come in they have many more resources to locate land that we do, and if they truly wanted to get a handle on use and do the right thing it would be done.

    As you suggested education is a critical component of the management of any contriversy and many national organizations have already done much of this. Try NOHVCC http://www.nohvcc.org Tread Lightly http://www.treadlightly.org for starters.
