Received an Email yesterday, Just passing it along:

Greetings Everyone!

We are getting close to finishing this project and will begin implementing it soon. Getting permissions, Polaris approvals, creating items and battling the USFS has made the process far more difficult then originally expected. Deb Walker was on board with the project and had given permissions but the new DR has other ideas. So we are doing some things differently then originally planned.

Attached is a short power point presentation, in basic format. Keeping it simple and clean. We are asking that you help educate other by sharing it via email, on social media, websites, etc. Please require that your members read and understand rules and regulations and the requests it contains. The more we share this information, the less we will hear "I didn't know" as the excuse on trails for poor behaviors.

November, we will sponsor an Educational Social Event to be held at Kings Mountain Point. During the event we will share the information attached, hold an ed discussion, outline how you can help, give you decals, handouts, reusable garbage bags and other incentives to share with others. The goal of the social will be to educate and connect groups to encourage wheeling, playing and helping together. Your club/group is welcome to bring membership information to the event. We want you connected!


There is strength in numbers !

Thank you for your help and participation,

Robin Touw
