Mike D:
Thank you Jeremy for standing up at the meeting and giving your input. I was happy the that they took all our inputs even if it was only on a 3x5 card (Lori and I each filled both sides out of our cards) and it was also good to see that people wanted to have horse trails and camping on the land.

But I am worried the the ATV people are going to have the biggest voice in the park (They have the most to gain and the most to lose). We really need to have mass numbers at these meeting for show of force and get other 4x4 clubs involved. East Coast Four Wheel Drive Association had a good turn out but the ATV guys had some strong speakers that really stood out even for the 2 minutes they were allotted to talk. I also feel that we need to have someone from United Four Wheel Drive Associations at the meeting.
Just my 2 cents

Jeremy:
two of the groups contracted by the county for this park is  Pennoni Associates ,  http://www.pennoni.com/Services/,  maybe it would be wise to invite some of them on trail ride scouting expeditions so they have first hand experience on what our for of recreation is, and what our needs are.

The design firm is Pashek and they partnered with Pennoni to do some of the sub work.  I can a sure you they know what the full size guys want and need .  I personally have had them out on the project property and they look at the land the same way I do . They love the diversity of the terrain they have to work with on this project.

 The full size guys need to step up to the mic and voice their needs ,wants ,and wishes when the proper time comes.  I'm a full size user and I am doing everything that I can to make sure we get what WE NEED .  But I do need all your help to back me up.
