Well, the meeting with the Corps of Engineers went along well. I believe they're beginning to open up to the idea of OHV trails. What they discussed last night was how to come up with the funding to fix what needs fixed and tear down whats hazardous to people. First, the gaurd rails along the dam road are getting in a bad way and another, the group picknic shelters are on the verge of collapse. I did smell a little BS in thier speech about how much it's cost the government to maintain whats left. They said they had spent from 50,000.00 to 300,000.00 per year the last handful of years maintaining the damn, buildings and other things. One trip out there and it doesn't take long to see, someone is either lying or lining thier pockets with gov. money. Well, another meeting is scheduled in two weeks to discuss this further. Hopefull, they'll begin to see the light a little clearer. Jim
