NOTE (EDIT): The first 4 posts of this thread have been moved from (PART 5) of this discussion so that those that are not paying for the membership to this site can read and comment on this important topic. Mountainhorse.
....First, WMC continues to make the case to USFS, asks the Supervisor to please make a decision to solve these issues. As well, WMC continues to enlist support of larger Organizations, continues to speak to State and National level politicians about these issues, and the snowmobile community has not collaborated or input except for "no" and basically telling the majority uses that we have no need or right to use the non-Wilderness Forest.
Second, the best scenario is that we interact, understand each other, solve the Wilderness trespass problem together, then try to discuss how various users may be accomodated.In this scenario, snowmobile riders would have input and some control of the process, in a collaborative process.
Thank you.
It is your comments in bold, that you continue to make, that will continue to be met with resistance. There have been many attempts in this discussion to offer alternatives that would seem to be a reasonable compromise. NOT ONCE ON THIS FORUM, THAT I HAVE SEEN, HAS ANYONE SAID OR IMPLIED THAT OTHER USER GROUPS DO NOT HAVE NEED OR RIGHT TO USE THE NON-WILDERNESS FOREST. This is in all caps so there is no misunderstanding.
In fact, you are the one telling us that you wish to shut down public areas so that motorized users will have no right to use that portion of non-wilderness forest. You are the one refusing to budge on the issue. We have offered many alternatives that you have ignored. That message will also be shared with the USFS. If this is the game you wish to play, we can play it your way.
If you want to continue to come on this forum and refuse any form of discussion that does not include your specific demands, then that is not collaboration. Numerous options have been presented, and you refuse to discuss any of them.
If you continue to come on here and make false and misleading statements about the snowmobile community, you will continue to be met with resistance. If you attempt to make these types of false accusations to the USFS, we will be more than happy to expose you.
Again, if you want to discuss reasonable options and actually collaborate, then maybe we can get somewhere.
