We're loving the wilderness to death and something needs to be done about overuse and trashing special places!

It is the same old thing, a few spoil it for the many. As we allow more people to move into our area the more trash and crime come along with them. There is less respect for everything lately.

Steve Scarich

Something needs to be done to re-distribute the volume to specific trailheads. I would rather have seen the FS actively encourage users to head to other sites, though.

Go after the folks who trash the wilderness but don't limit the numbers of those who respect the land and follow the rules!

Just another sign that Bend, (CO) is changing for the worst. Bend spent years trying to get people to move here, well...they got their wish.

Again Dem's punish the one's who repect the land.

Terry Whitted

I love our wilderness. I don't want the government restricting my access.

More passes, rules, regulations, and reservations are making it harder to go out on a hike or head out, hiking/camping, on a whim. A permit/reservation is making spontaneity a thing of the past

I see kids riding them all over Redmond . North end near Elton middle school and around Rimrock. Someone’s going to be hurt .

Barb Burns

There are 3 in the Redmond dry canyon almost every night.

John Sutton

There here in redmond also. I've seen them by Fred Meyer and the shopping center next to the Redmond high school.

Yes, and they are being ridden by young people. They should be cited by the Police for not being street legal vehicles.
