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.

no campers allowed! they are destroying a beautiful place.
ReplyThe 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.
ReplyPeople 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.
ReplyIt's time to stop random dumping in our forests. Blocking should help keep out vehicles with large trash items.
Replysick of seeing speeding old junk cars and trash in the area. people who really want to visit the area will go.
