The vast number of campers, tents, and other vehicles are leave trash, building structures,dumping food on the ground,cans, bottles, and bags of poop. it's startling to ride through Phils these days and compare it to how clean and quiet the forest used to be as recently as 6 or 7 years ago.

People are illegally long term camping, dumping waste, speeding and disrespecting the land. People can still bike, run, hike and walk in the forests with gates closed.

It's time to stop random dumping in our forests. Blocking should help keep out vehicles with large trash items.

Give and inch, they take a mile. Let everyone have something to enjoy and some have to destroy it.

That is public lands I am disabled and can't ride a bike or walk very well. I have seen a lot of changes in Bend over the last 50 years. I have a problem with people coming in trying to restrict others rights, without living in the area for 5 years, so they don't bring what they left behind.

The land and trails belong to everyone. Drivers have rights to the outdoors also. Don't move here and start making demands.

Why does Karen even care? Let's board up and put a fence around the whole forest...

The federal budget deficit would be EASILY diminished if the Rs in Congress would vote to make the tax system fairer by making the top richest pay their fair share. But they won't. They'd rather take from the poor+ middle class and sale public lands vs. doing the obvious and fairest remedy!!

It is a shameful idea. These lands belong to all of us, and are not for sale.

Hey, If Mike Lee wants to sell Utah's public lands, see how his constituents like it with theirs. Stay away from Oregon and the other states who don't like it. If Trump wants his big ugly bill to pass, reimburse the government for what the taxpayers pay for his golfing at his resorts + his parade.

This would be a crime and one that is irreversible. If Trump needed the money so bad, maybe he shouldn’t have spent our hard-earned tax money on his birthday parade. I am a public land owner and I oppose this proposition. How dare Mike Lee try pulling off this crap on us. We’re not stupid.

Public lands are our heritage due to the foresight of great individuals. Only those interested in profiteering propose and support the rape of Oregon and public properties.
