Gilmore Trail reroute comments

[Dr Brian]

So we talked about this as the TAC meeting tonight.

Nothing looks hinky.

I cannot do the letter as I will sign the letter of support for the Trails Advisory Commission.

I propose the Pres print and sign something like this and get it faxed to DNR.

RE: proposed administrative reroute of RST 644, Cleary Summit -- Gilmore Dome Trail

This letter represents the opinion of the members of Arctic Offroad, a Fairbanks-based club advocating the use of properly equipped highway vehicles off road.

We support the administrative reroute, with the stipulation that the new trail is sustainable and allows all current users to continue safe recreation. This area, as you are aware, is accessed by a a wide variety of trail users such as runners, bikers, snowmachiners, skiers, ATVs, horses and highway vehicles.

The newly rerouted trail should conform to the Alaska State Parks Interim Trail Management Handbook.

we recognize the coexistence of recreation, mining and the mission of the DNR and are thankful for the opportunity to be involved in this process.

Sincerely,

Don...the fearless leader.
