Time to Think

["steven" <trails@jps.net>]

Obviously the some of the riders and "guests" on the list and off the list
have not see the light of day. Times are changing.

 Our Open Space is being continuously assaulted by other user groups that
are impacting the lands that riders have used for many years.

Yes we have caused damage, we have also cared for the Open Space and the
trails.
If we do not stop the further and present assault on our trails and Open
Space by off=road vehicles.

It is possible/probable that we all will loose trails. We need to support
the banning of off=road vehicles. We all have see the damage being done, and
if we ignore what many have done. We will all loose. Please vote to Ban
off=road vehicles while you can.

The people that are benefiting by the off-road greensticker fee's and
off=road lobby have  worked to gain access to our trails at our detriment.
"It is time to wakeup."

How do you think someone that profits from greensticker fee's will make
decisions on the continued trail uses by equestrians and hikers/runners when
the time comes?

i/e I lose my job if the greensticker money stops, so lets have additional
off=road vehicles more damage and impacts = LESS EQUESTRIANS/RUNNERS.
