Stamped Trail

Here is a link to the senate bill

now I read this compared to the old HB 241 and it is the same. The same issue is brought up though that we brought up at the meeting and ever since.

I made some print bold for you to pay attention to. The All terrain vehicles does not include us. The other established motorized use can. When Sen. Thomas originally wrote to us about this in April 2007 he specifically mentioned our Club and our use of the area. It is definately worth getting a little more info on this matter and contacting you state rep for your deistrict and your state senator.

6 (1) allow the Stampede State Recreation Area to be used for activities

I think we need to establish the intent of the senator and rep. also the committee and commissioner. I'm not real sure who the commissioner is that would make all the decisions as to what is compatable and incompatable with the are.
