New recreation area by Healy!

as elluded to previously, the resolution by the assembly was to leave Stampede trail open to roadless unlimited weight class vehicle and personal recreation.
That is a small win for us. Thanks to quick thinking by Eric and Kelly, AO was the singular fuel for the assembly to ammend their initial resolution to include the unlimited weight class vehicle portion to ensure we get past the old 1500 pound rule that is in effect on some lands.
Arctic Offroad was represented well last night although the night was long, we showed a good and professional presence in the community with myself, our President Kelly, and Eric from Holeproof Ind. giving personal testimonies of why this trail system neds to remain open and spoke for several minutes with the current mayor of Healy about how leaving this trail open to AO could benefit both the trail and the community. The conversation ended with a partnership between the two parties and now the mayor has tools of knowledge t go down to Juneau to help him fight for what he believes is right.
Well done crew! Next step is the state legislature. NOw we need the support of the AO community to back up the promise of support that we represented you for.
