URE trail closure annoucement - blazinchuck - 03-19-2013
talked with Janet today to get info. she confirmed Kodak is closed. rocky mnt loop is still open...but you wont get to the ledge or the big area at kodak. she said it will probably be closed til Dec. all other trails are open...she also said she wasnt sure the new trail would be open yet.
thanks to Bart for the heads up earlier, decided to post this here instead of the meet/greet

Do you know a reason? Are they getting pressure like every other orv park?
URE trail closure annoucement - blazinchuck - 03-19-2013
i dont think its anything like that...she made it sound like they were looking at improving that area and then found some artifacts (what you ask?? couldnt tell ya)...but they are digging and trying to rebuild that area

Indian artifacts. ie- probably a broken arrowhead. The decision came from outside the park. I don't know if/when it will re-open but am trying to get answers as how to help.

This is the latest (copied and pasted from NC4x4):
We (Terry and all at the local USFS office and us) are waiting on a few things right now to see how we will go forward. Right now there are about 4 options on the plate. Before we can go forward as a group the USFS has to have their engineer / arch person to come in and see how we can go forward. Found out we put some guard rail up in the wrong place also. It has been talked about going around that area but the money to do that is not there. The best option out there right now is to put up the guard rail, but as of right now we do not have enough, so we can do some here soon maybe if they say we can go forward with that option. The other option is to have a contractor do the work, but again it comes down to money. RIGHT now the closing down permanently is not on the table, but we have to wait on the person from Atlanta say the final say.
So, BLUF ( bottom line up front ) we are waiting on the USFS have some people go thru there and figure out the best option of keeping it open. That is why we did not do anymore work on it this last workday when we had all the people out there to be able to accomplish the most.
