Oops, you made a typo... that should be Sept. 12, 2005.
For those of you who don't want to read the 86 page version, there is an executive summary (6 pages) here:

First, I would like to thank Dr. Nelson and the others for taking the time to prepare this plan. Being new to this sport, I found this plan to be educational for me. I recommend everyone who has an opinion on this ORV plan to take the time to a least email your comments to the address provided on the site. It doesn't hurt to try...
The suggestion that I emailed was to consider an ORV trail/area in SE Michigan. Those of us on the Michigan/Ohio border tend to drive to Maumee State Forest (in Ohio). I would really enjoy a riding area south of Ann Arbor. Due to the lack of state forest/rec areas in this region, a chuck of land or woods could be purchased and turned into a scramble area.
