Dave,

I believe they are working on that so just give them time. Things don't happen overnight and there is no use getting all worked up over this. All of the parties appear to know what is going on so we will eventually learn the steps they are taking to confront it. At least that is my opinion.

"it used to be a lot narrower in the late 70's early 80's.."

I am very familiar with 1/4 mile from the time period you speak of. It was a very rough road along the RR tracks. What we are speaking of now is not that road but the destruction south of that road into the wetlands. It was started by the FF Service buldozing a road around a fire. When they were done there was no remediation and the mudders followed.

lol..get topo maps at batsto ..many trails that they say exist don't and some exist and areen't notated because some of the topos are from 1950's survey

i always heed the ..nowhere near riparian zones and streams ..no where where visibly posted

This may bring back memories. To get from Hampton Furnace to Quaker Bridge you would need to travel along the tracks there at 1/4 mile. As it does today the roads would flood but it was the only way to go without traveling across High Crossing and going the long way.

Notice he was on the road. Developed 6/1978.

This is what we called fun. Not destroying anything, just making our way down the road.

So how did you decide who would volunteer to be first to cross the bridge??

My mom worked with the man who owned the Bronco in the first photo. He found out that I had a Land Cruiser and asked me to join them. We met at the Indian Chief in Medford and I followed in the group since I was the new person. The first vehicle to the pipe went first after we built the bridge. The location was at the below link. We had passed through what is now 1/4 mile and we were heading towards Quaker Bridge.

I had told them about it and even had my parents there.

All I can say is something has to bend somewhere or it's going to get a HELL of alot worse. I can promise you that. The town it was in could handle it. The only reason it isn't cookie cutter homes with a development is becasue the owner turned them away in hopes of putting a park in. Now the land is a "preserve" and it is totally valuless and can't even give it away. I'
m about ready to quit with my posts and let time play it's roll but I can tell you now, if both sides don'ty come to some sort of compromise were facing a terrible situation

IF the land was persevered, the state or the county purchased it or its development rights based on assessed value based on zoning.

Your explanation makes little sense

Tell me what town and the blocks and lots and who preserved it?
