GOOD! From my experience North Carolina is all to ready to take away our rights to use Publicly owned lands.

I've always wanted to go there and then watching tv they said tellico is closed! I was not happy, glad the suit is in progress.

We stay up to date on Tellico, but the government simply doesn't play fair. We speak regularly about organizing a ride, all ride into town, and buy NOTHING from local places. Just set up camp, 500-1000 rigs strong would get the point across I believe. |
The buisnesses there want us back, they are struggling since the huge loss of revinue. I miss the place but doubt it will ever reopen and if it does it won't be the same. The forestry service has bull dozed all the trails and they say we were ruining the streams for the trout.

Have you ever seen what drainage water from bulldozed land looks like? Its pretty much opaque from all the sediment in it.

Go figure that the government would screw over its own citizens. |
Any new info in progress of the lawsuit? Or a web link to check for updates?

Yeah how can we keep up on this. California is a tree hugger paradise and while i preach and practice tread lightly and leave nothing but tier tracks behind you know for some reason four wheelers are a cause of global warming.... thank you I'm better now.

You probably saw something about Durhamtown opening property adjacent to the old Tellico property. Totally different land. |
