Dear Mr. Helgeson,
I signed on because I have been annoyed, endangered, and angered one too
many times by people riding motorized dirt-bikes and other off-road vehicles
that have no damn business anywhere. To me, this bill is narrow--it doesn't
include those "personal watercraft," seemingly jet-powered little missiles
whose only apparent purpose is to risk death and dismemberment for boaters
and swimmers, for the amusement of spoiled drunk teenagers.
Yes, I am sure there is the occasional responsible person who rides one of
these machines on land or water. And yes, like every human being I have
been pleasantly surprized to find my stereotypes broken. But why, why, why,
do folks insist on motorized "sports"? Those two words are an oxymoron.
There is nothing sporting--athletic, physically demanding--about riding any
machine anywhere. And it's a damned annoyance to folks who see the outdoors
as a place to go for quiet and solitude and self-exploration. I would be
happy to ban the use of the internal combustion engine off-road, by anyone
without a handicapped sticker, subject to a stiff fine. Maybe we could call
this an anti-obesity measure.
Please circulate this to all motorized sports enthusiasts, so they can
remember never to vote for me.

Location Name: Ravensdale Clay Pits
Type of Riding Place: Trails
Location (closest city): Ravensdale, WA USA
Details: It's a really big area to ride, lots of trails, and adjacent to Warehauser forest property which is fun to ride in too. Lots of mud and clay, a few hill climbs. It is private property though, and some of the workers (it is a working clay mine) don't like people riding there. Best to come on weekends, when no equipment is working. Trail entrances change weekly as they dump piles of dirt on them...
How to get there:From North: I-405 to 169 (Renton/Maple Valley Hiway).
Drive towards Maple Valley for 10-15 miles, then turn left onto Kent Kangley Rd (past Maple Valley). Drive until you get to the town of Ravensdale noted by a fire station on the right and small store on the left (about 3-4 miles) then turn right at that intersection and after

Hey PSAR gang,
I thought I would do the same as Wingy said he was doing today and call Easton about the Memorial Day week-end. Well bad news is they are totally booked for the entire holiday week-end, out in the group area that we use where our firepit is. She said they were pretty booked for others sites too, really nothing together is left.
I also asked about the riding and if they had anymore problems out there with the forestry folks trying to ticket riders. She said she was not really sure but that she had heard there are some areas that are restricted but not posted as restricted and that the forestry folks do plan to patrol out there again.
Just thought I would update as soon as I heard....

Thanks Val, I just talked to them as well. As you said, the circle is full. She is emailing me a campsite diagram with available sites. I will see if anything works for us. If not, we can try to find another place, or just make this work.
