That's why I wondered about a bunch of enthusiasts getting together and pooling moneys needed to buy a section of dunes. Guess it would cost more than I had thought.
that has been done years ago.
the majority of the sand does not belong to this particular land holder.
This area they have was developed to accommodate the ATV riders.
I do believe that private landowners have the right to do what they want, when they want, for as long as they want.
the question was "closure" yes or no.
Thanks for explaining...I didn't get it

I wouldn't want the burden of it all 24, 7, year-round.
10 degrees to 110 degrees.
They have an all consuming, full time commitment.
West Texans are a hard bunch to keep happy too!

That is buried underground too.
