Anyone heard anymore about this?? Someone on my board posted that there's no place for OHV's in Auburn's future.

Says here it's closed due to storm damage and is being rebuilt:

Walking up the dead. The park is closed most days, open Sunday, Monday and Thursday. Something about the track was built with non native dirt back in 2001 and its "killing the fish"
( this is what the rangers told me when talking with them) I did a bit of looking and did not find anything on the non native dirt thing.

This was an audit done on OHV back in 05 as they were spending the OHV trust money on non OHV related activity's.

[dripping sarcasm]I wonder "who" could have been behind such an outrageous thing like complaining about the kind of dirt they used for the track? [/dripping sarcasm]

Non Native dirt?


ROFL...I've heard it all now.

I think they meant the soil/dirt/rock was imported from a location outside of the river bottom. i.e. it came from say 10 miles away, not sure as I could not find any info on it.
I read a report on the law suit and they used words like "presumed".
So there was a some junk science being used in that lawsuit. They found 5 elderberry plants in the park, so they "presumed" that the federal endanger elderberry beetle lives in the park as the plant is host to the beetle.

This little bug, I'm sure you have seen plenty in the spring.
