Re: [RC] [RC] [RC] Narrow trails at Tevis - Crysta Turnage - Sisu West Ranch
"...I can't say I understand the logic of the

We are talking government here, no need for logic.
The Big Creek Lakes Reserviour Association, which owns the dam that stores water
in the wilderness for irrigation this time of year, has continuing problems with
the Forest Service over the wilderness rules. In our case the first dam
was put up in 1905 but the area did not become wilderness until after
1964.
It is possible that the original construction predated
wilderness designation. It is possible to get motorized exemptions for
particular projects, but extremely hard. In our case the Fores Service got
objections from as far away as Florida that a particular project was really a
disguised way to dispoil the wilderness. I suspect the use of a machine on
the Tevis trail would cause the same reaction.
