Thanks Kevin!
No prob.
I added a (quite lengthy) comment that I hope gets added to the list of comments being collected and is then deposited squarely on someone's desk. I'd like to think that that someone will be important to this situation of trail closures and that someone will read these comments and realize that we, the people that live and work in these communities have rights too. Allowing someone to decide our future for us isn't why we're American's and it isn't why we choose to like a more rural lifestyle.
That's my hope.
Without hope what do you have?
