Last night we met with State Commisioner of Public Lands Doug Sutherland, the DNR Excutive Director of Policy and Administration Bonnie Bunning, the DNR Director of Communications Todd Meyer, DNR Northwest Region Manager Bill Wallace and key members of his staff.
It appears as though they have noticed that we haven't just bent over and accepted the closure of Walker Valley. Everyone representing the DNR expressed an attitude of cooperation and a willingness to work with the motorized recreational users.
A proposed plan for a partial reopening is currently in the works. More details will be available in a couple of weeks.
:yeehaw:
The DNR and the NMA will be putting out a joint statement in the near future. Additionally, I'll keep you guys post as things develop.
THANK YOU! to T-Rat, Fishhead and everyone else who contacted the DNR. Your efforts made this progress possible. After the meeting Mr. Sutherland said he read every letter and email sent to him, plugged them into his computer, sorted them and was impressed with both the quantity and quality of the comments received.
