Great now this has hit the Denver post and is popping up on Yahoo's local section in the denver area
Well its Official, More areas shutting down
- Thread starter Gmiller
- Start date
As for tiger Grant, it IS closed... unless you're gonna go enjoy some AUSM trail riding. (oh, but good times is petitioning them to make more trail... that's JUST what we were hoping for!)
This whole thing is bull, it just disgusts me what the forest circus has done.
DAMN, Its so close and so much to offer. The only logical thing i can do it quit snowmobiling because thats what they want.....right? Im just wondering how many of the guys up here have any idea that its closed and how many will still ride the area. I know every week people from denver head up and ride tiger too. Oh well, we snowmobilers are causing the FS too much money, and the hippies so much stress when we are on 6ft of snow and 20miles into the backcountry. What will we lose next, the right to own a Diesel because the exhaust is black? HA, doubt the snowmobiling will stop on tiger anytime soon, just because lack of knowledge.

It'll stop. They'll hire more of those idiots like they have handing out green peace fliers down town as deputized 'green cops' and then claim they're adding 'green jobs'.
I don't know, can't say I've EVER seen them out were we ride, Not once in four years. I see them at Rabbit Ears and Mesa but never out here, its just not popular enough like some of the other areas.
Sorry to hear about the buggering. Well, at least no one is fighting their plans to expand RE parking so it can accommodate all the displaced riders....Thanks in advance to all involved in that future buggering....
And the good people that could never get a parking spot at RE will still not get a spot, cause now the displaced riders will be taking all those new parking slots
Hate to have such a bad attitude, but i don't see much of anything positive coming our way. Their just going to keep taking it bit by bit and our impotent representatives will think themselves fortunate to gather up the crumbs left behind.
I guess it's hard to blame them when so few CO riders actually belong to CSA or a club. Somebody start a poll and lets out the tightwads! There is absolutley no excuse for not paying your dues. If you can afford to ride, you can certainly afford to pitch in 50 bucks. Nobody's asking you to run for congress, just lend a hand where you can.
Who am I fooling....those people don't even open these threads, that would mean pulling their heads out of the f'n sand.

This is true, I just recently joined because i didn't know any better before, after all im just a Wisconsin tard. Some guys know but think its "lame" or whatever. Im in the process of starting a business and plan to chip in as much as possible that way too. We need to get these anti hidden gems stickers out and about so people get informed. Im getting people signed up as we speak, im not putting up with this ****.
After spending the last couple years fighting Hidden Gems as president of WRFA...all I can say is we, the motorized group and anyone that recreates in the forest, need to bond together in an organized fashion to protect what is important to us. Join your clubs, orgainize and participate....bring in your friends and make solid arguments about what is important to you.
Travel management has been in the works since 1998 or so...several forest supervisors later it finally arives and is impacting riding areas. We now have a good WRNF supervisor in Scott Fitzwilliams...make a reasonable argument and I think he will listen. You may or may not get what you are looking for but I do believe he will listen to realistic arguments from organized groups.
The greenies have lots of $$ and organization. It is a battle for sure but getting organized and joining clubs and state organizations is definitely the first step...please accept that part of the fight and bring all your buddies!

I've donated about $1500 to BRC and USALL over the last 4 years, but I think I'm seriously going to start budgeting donations in addition to everything else.
That is incredibly stupid of us to spend, literally, the tens of thousands of dollars we spend on this stuff then not pay dues to the organizations that are fighting to allow us to exercise that freedom.
I would like to see us lobby to have a portion of our registration fees be given to these groups outright .... that' be a good deal.

Just to let you guys know the battle is all over the country
A few years back one of our SD snowmobile club people got to talk to one of the main people out in DC who are always trying to shut down Yellowstone. She was told by this guy, they dont want anybody out there for anything period!! They want it to look like pre European times, no buses, no hikers, no horses, no nothing 
Bascially put a fence around it and dont let anybody in!! This is not why they were put aside years ago, they are supposed to be for our enjoyment. I for one always give to a snowmobile club and to the SDOHVC (Southdakots off HWY vehicle Co.) to help during the summer also. They will never stop and either can we
I love CO. and riding out there is the best! I never want to see it go away. If you guys get something going let me know I will give to your effort also.

Look up "Biodiversity Corridoor" ... they want the entire Rocky Mountain region to look like that. Just let everything go back to nature. Nice pipe dream but that is NOT the world we live in today nor will it ever be that way again.
What i'd like to do is get a website up where people can "sign up". That is what they have, a website full of signatures and they bring that up at the meetings so we get our own damn list and do the same thing, that way there is no arguement in that direction. Give me some insight, let me know what you guys think? Also getting a ton of ANTI-HIDDEN GEMS stickers out and on vehicles.
Thanks Grant
