You guys really need to see what the Forest Service is proposing. Keep in mind this was in an article about squatters in the National Forests.
Here is the link:

Here is what the forest service wants to do to elliminate squatters:
"Squatters who set up illegal campsites in national forests have become such a problem that Forest Service officials are considering limiting the use of forests near urban areas.
Among the possible changes: restrictions on camping, target shooting and off-road-vehicle use in places within a two-hour drive of urban areas."
"Forest Service officials say the plan is aimed at forests within a two-hour drive of an urban area, including the South Platte district of the Pike-San Isabel National Forest, the Boulder district of the Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest and parts of the White River National Forest along the Interstate 70 corridor.
"It's a very specific plan: The primary point is to provide for the more urbanized types of recreation that the public wants," Valenzuela said."
Just think, closing down the national forest to off-road vehicle use, camping, and target shooting are the ways to make the mountains beter for "urbanized recreation".
Like I have said many times, blame different groups for all the ills and they will split us up so that the mountains are compatible for "urbanized recreation." Go ahead, balme the shooters, balme the wheelers, balme any little group you want for how left hand is. Simple fact of the matter is that they want to close EVERYTHING to EVERYBODY who wants to do something other than "urbanized recreation". People will get their wish. They were out to blame the shooters. They were out to blame the wheelers. Well, we all will be leaving....
