I have seen tracks on three occasions that matched cougar. And have personally heard first-person eye-witness accounts from four reliable individuals. I think it far more likely that we have a few cougars out there than that we have all these people with similar hallucinations. I was extremely...

I did consider that. It would be problematic, and this is purely speculative, but if it ever came to that, I suppose a general closure of the state forest would require that people be allowed only on major thoroughfares for the sole purpose of passing through. Anyone found doing otherwise would...

Joe, the distinction here is that, yes, hikers and horses might damage a rare plant now and then, but the activities at 1/4 mile have destroyed dozens of acres of habitat. It's not a reasonable comparison. As for closure, the state forest authorities aren't anxious to close anything. They are...

Mike, do you know what the route is for the upcoming Jamboree? Does it include the 1/4 mile area?

We need to close 1/4 mile, but I agree with Dave, not before we get some assurance that we can control the people who are using it. If the state won't do something, then we need to get organized and do it ourselves.

Nobody's picking on 1/4 mile. It's just being held up as an example. We are trying to address the whole problem. The spot you are pointing out is another good example, so thanks for the link. And if you are trying to stop people from doing idiotic things out there, that's great. Just like the...

What do you think about PPA's 10-point plan?

Thanks for the reply 46. I kind of think it's the duty of citizens to protect public property and report criminal activity. For example, if I see a reckless driver on the hwy, I call it in. Who knows? Maybe I save somebody's life. In this case of the ORV destruction, the authorities are having a...

Yeah, there is no reason to confront them at the scene of the crime. I'm just recommending getting the photos and writing up the detail and submitting that to the authorities. The confrontation would then be at the courthouse in front of plenty of witnesses. As for the YouTube footage, there are...

Well, we know there is a problem, and we know that the authorities know the same things we know, but they still may not always do what needs to be done. That's why I am advocating that we all start turning in actual written complaints, accompanied by photos and video, if possible. I'm assuming...

Guy, what's the best way to file a complaint? Getting law enforcement out there often enough to really address the problem is probably a long shot. I really think we need to get photos and file these complaints.
