[QUOTE="Mudd Slinger, post: 1205116, member: 53782"] [b]Letter From travel-ohv-ouachita@fs.fed.us[/b] I received a return letter for my efforts. It sounds like they are listening. I edited some of the personal info out. Thank you for writing with your concerns regarding travel management on the Ouachita National Forest. We have heard from a number of persons who have expressed the same interest in having a system of routes in and around the Talimena area. We are in the beginning stages of designating a system to routes to provide access to the Forest. We will keep your comments in our official record. As we work through all of the comments and ideas we have received, we may need to contact you for clarifications. We expect to finalize our review of public comments by the end of this year. After all comments have been reviewed, we will publish a proposed action and invite the public to review and comment on that proposal. We will add you to our mailing list so that you receive updated information, notice of future meetings, etc. Again, thank you for taking the time share your concerns. To: <travel-ohv-ouachita@fs.fed.us>, <kmrussell@fs.fed.uset.com> cc: Subject: Talimena State Park and Ouachita National Forest 06/20/2007 01:46 AM (Embedded image moved to file: pic05963.jpg) Dear Sir: I was notified that there may be some changes to the use of the recreational area in the Ouachita National Forest. My family and I have been riding motorcycles on the designated motorcycle trails while camping at the Talimena State Park and surrounding areas for several years now. We simple love the area and spending the time in the outdoors. We make several trips every year to the forest to ride our bikes. We noticed that it is becoming quite a popular area and more and more riders are in the area and mostly for the same reason. It is one of the few unspoiled areas to enjoy such a remote and beautiful wilderness. Riding the bikes allows you to cover much more area while still being close to everything (unlike a car) and without the level of effort needed on a mountain bike (I am too old for that). The trails are not always marked clearly and easy to follow but we do our best to stay on the designated trails. I have been with other riders in the area also and most of us will turn around if we find ourselves on a trail where we think we don’t belong. If we run across a horse and rider, we shut down our engines so we don’t spook the horses and usually have a conversation with the riders. We all appreciate riding and sharing the Ouachita National Forest and greatly wish to keep the area open to motorcycles. In fact, we would really like to see additional trails with various degrees of difficulty (easier for the kids). I grew riding in the Pennsylvania Mountains and it is great to share the same experiences with my kids. Please keep the designated trails open to the motorcycles. Thank you for your time. Please let me know if there is any meeting or anything I can do to support keeping the forest open to motorcycles. Sincerely, [/QUOTE]
