Stampede Road - after the Feb trip

[akdsmer]

Hmmm. Did he give any insight as to what we can do and not do? Stay on the trail and all is well?

Ranger "This is a road, so legally you can be here.....ethically though...."

Ranger "The trail <at the gulley where Dan turned around> is in Park Property. The road is a right of way there, but you can't deviate."

Concerning after the bus- Ranger "The trail is extremely hard to follow, you would likely stray off of the right away and get in trouble." During the summer, the ATVers have a hard time and end up going up and down the river looking for the trail.

He did say is was "possible" to get to Kantishna. He also said between all the user groups, Federal and state groups and different laws and interpretations the law isn't Black or White.

End conclusion: The trail to the bus is not problem. Stay on the trail. Do not deviate from it. After that, you had better be sure that you are on the trail, because the park service will not hesitate to cite you if

Note to all. This trail is used by multiple groups. It is in the best interest of all users to maintain this trail and not to do damage that prevents other user groups from being able to use it as well. I would recommend that those that go do it in smaller numbers, have good traction tires, lockers and winches. We did minimal damage to the trail, but kept spinning to a minimum through the use of the above items. I (and hopefully others in the club will partcipate) will be building a pull-behind groomer for the club to use on trails like this to erase our footprint or at least minimize it. The trail looked real good where we started pulling the trailer without the axle or wheels.
