It would limit residence and spur of the moment use. One of the perks of living here is the easy access to trails, lakes, etc. Maybe require limits only on weekends or major holidays.

Karen McCormick

Because locals deserve first chance at access. Give locals a week to apply first then open it up to outsiders.

Ben Wiborg

Outside revinue for Oregon is a plus.

Matthew Carter

The tourist and new comers seem to be the ones trashing the place. The trails were not like this during the first few years I lived here (12 - 15/16).

Dave Voiles

Of course CO residents should be exempt. I didn't move here 42 years ago to be told I have to stand in line to hike on a trail in my backyard!

Restrictions on public lands should apply to the public at large, which includes locals as well.

Make it a percentage CO residents and percentage tourists.

John Driscoll

Whether running tourists or livestock, every piece of real estate has a carrying capacity. There is an upper limit in the matter of the number of head one can put out on the range.

Valerie Curtis

It's PUBLIC land.

Austin Kingsley

Everyone should be held to the same standard. We all have a responsibility to limit our impact on the environment.

Lynn Huntley

Just because someone lives here doesn't mean they are less destructive.

I haven't been driving a lot due to the increase in gas prices. I'm monitoring how much I drive now.

It’s not the prices of fuel, it’s the bozo in the White House causing all of the chaos facing our nation. I wish our media outlets actually covered the real news instead boosting this post turtle even further. Nobody knows how the turtle got on the post but somebody put him there. We’re all F$&ked.

Gas prices are going up because of bidens war on oil!

I have to drive to many places every day. The recent gas surged hasn't changed how much I drive.

Not me but I am retired, but I know it is a hardship on many people. It is because of the horrible Trojan horse for socialism (he is a bad joke) This so called administration and its war on oil has caused all!!! Lets all thank the Biden administration for screwing America over! LETS GO BRANDON!!!!

My wife, who is a CMA, quit rather than get the biologic agent jab.

Wes Blood

Very experienced mentor left their jobs in the fire service and nursing. They already had natural immunity, which made the vaccine pointless.

Susan Skakel

Glad my son in law decided to get vaccinated. I dont want to be around unvaccinated "health care" workers. Neither do I want to be around unvaccinated police and fire who I pay to serve and "protect". Glad, too, that teachers and staff are required to be vaccinated.

No I don't, however, I don't believe anyone should need a mandate to do the right thing. Through the years Americans have come together when needed to bring the country through events like this. Those that continue to cause deaths, shorthanded medical services and tumbling stock market for what?

Rick Allen

I do not know anyone personally affected, but in a way we are all affected! I am vaccinated and I think it is the best way to get the horrible Democrats socialist control freaks off our backs, but it is NOT the American way to be forced into something! We have got to get rid of the Biden and Brown!

Thom Porterfield

I voted(?) this way because ... I don't know anyone affected by the mandate. But I don't understand people's resistance to this. Consider mandates we all accept without complaint: stop signs, seat belts, motorcycle helmets. Come on, people. Get the shot, Keep yourself and the rest of us healthy.
