los coyotes update

I've heard the same story about the restroom pipes.

I've also heard the stories about becoming a horse riding mecca. I haven't heard anything about littering, per se, but a few years ago in the midst of a pretty large fire, some idiot camped and built a campfire in an illegal and very stupid spot, THEN got up the next moring and left the fire smoldering.

That looks like a sweet trail...sorry for the loss.

Jeff

have any of you gone directly to the tribal agencies that made the decision to close it? perhaps a well thought out plan that provides both trail conservation and generates tribal revenue could make a difference.

Sad News. I used to love going out there. Another one for the list that went the way of Coyote Canyon trail in the Anza Borrego. Remember that trail, Noce run. Not a challenge but man it was really beautiful.

The excuse for closing sounds phony to me. You won't get any appreciable regrowth over the Jeepin' trails in two years.

There may be something to horseback riding but not for Indian children. The proposed Riding Center is probably going to be designed with yuppettes in mind as clientele.

As for the vandalization...... I imagine the wealth is NOT being shared. And if casinos are involved then organized crime is not far behind.

thats sorta redundant. my experience with indian reservations is that anything can be had if you have money in your hand. id bet you could go out on the crow rez here south of billings and shoot an eagle for the right amount of money.

Perhaps the chief needs some free welding in exchange for jeepin' rights..... or an envelope full of cash

Yes, we've talked to the indians. Several times. There are indians that don't live on the reservation, but for some reason they are allowed to sit on the council. They are not friendly to the offroad community. If they ever get voted off of the council, we'll have a chance to get back in.

I wasn't aware that they had plans to create riding areas for the tribal kids, the plan I heard was that they were going to court the equestrain community instead of the offroad community. It's really that simple.

I've also heard that the greenies had been in there with the claim that the run-off pollutes the Salton Sea, but the sea is 30 some odd miles away across extremely parched desert, and there isn't a drop that flows from the reservation to the sea without being filtered by several million rocks.

This is a very remote reservation, and they aren't after a casino for themselves. They get a cut of the casino money from the other reservations ...
