First, here is the PDF file I was sent:

TellicoLegalNotice.pdf (http://www.lowcountrymudrats.org/read/TellicoLegalNotice.pdf)

I uploaded the file so you all could download it, if you'd like.

Hello fellow Off-Roaders
Your attention on this matter is greatly needed.
Please find attached a Legal Notice from the newspaper July 10, 2002
The U.S. Forest Service is considering 8 changes to Tellico that effect us and we need to voice our opinion.
On #4 they are considering CLOSING ALL OF TELLICO from January 1st through March 15th each year.
If they get enough letters asking them not to do this hopefully they will reconsider.
Being a business owner and 99% of our guest are the off-roaders this would hurt us and we want to continue to provide a place for you to stay.
If you need help with a letter or just don't have time, let me know and I will send a letter with a self addressed envelope for you to sign and drop in the mail.
The letters need to reach them by AUGUST 10th 2002
Pass this along to your friends.
Thank You
Keep off roading!

Please respond by letter to:

Even if your preferred time to ride is not during this time please send letter anyway, it will make the trails that much more crowded after March if it is closed.
Thank you

Sorry about that. As soon as I got the e-mail (Directly from Cabin Rentals), I posted it on as many boards as possible.

I knew people would want to see it.

some parts of tellico would be VERY dangerous in the snow/ice. I'd have to change my underwear everytime i started sliding on ice. ...but hey, thats part of the fun right.

I love goin' up there in the Winter. My son (11) and I went there last Christmas and had a blast.

You definitely have to be careful on snow and ice. But, we want to make it a yearly thing, ourselves.

Me too. That place is really pretty (and rough) with snow on the ground. Not too crowded either :)
