Rex Trail Closure

[naturalbornmudder]

Brothers,

this is where the proverbial rubber meets the road as far as where Tread Lightly!, the UFWDA, and the Blue Ribbon Coalition have the biggest impact. The Rex trail is the front line in the battle for responsible trail users like Arctic Offroad and our southern brothers to make a stand, take responsibility of our community land, not just our personal actions. AO and others like us are constantly preaching land use responsibility and the self-governing hobby-ist.

Here it is. The time to practice what we preach. To take thoughtful responsible action by making our voices herd, and what's more importantly, make our actions known.

I advise active contact and participation with the DNR to let them know AO's interest in supporting open trails and shared responsibility in the upkeep of the trails we value.

Inaction is something that AO cannot afford, in my opinion. If the collective voice is not heard here, then there is an impression of people not being concerned.

IF AO speaks out, I would recommend supporting the decision to temporarily close the trail to allow for trail repair and trail healing in order to, at a future date, allow trhe trail to be reopened and monitored. DNR, BLM, and any other land governing resource is actually an ally of what AO believes, and we should let them know we want our trasils to remain open, and unchanged by the irresponsible.

looks like AO missed the boat...
