they have closed thruston county orv,due to budget cut and a law suit.

 

hey ben....where else do you normally ride? looking to find som enew spots to ride at...they closed walker valley up here in snohomish county because of weather and being to muddy...hahaha what a joke! so i am looking for new area to ride at? if my buddies get a ride going you wanna join us?

 

sounds good,when thurston is closed i ride shelton,we have a small group about 10 or 12 quads,i was thinking about riding saturday,so if you guys go somewhere let me know so i can get my friends togheter

 

Hey Ben did they close thurston for good or temp i know they closed down temp every year anyways but is this going to be for good where in shelton do you ride i went to tahuya awhile back and tlked to some othere guys that say they ride out there somewhere too Thanks Tony

 

tony is closed for good,it was on the news tuesday,it's very sad, i did most of my riding there,anyway shelton is not too far from thurston,i really dont like tahuya the trails are kind of small at least where my friends took me,so you have to go slow,shelton is not like tahuya is alot smaller but they have bigger trails so you can get a real work out.big honda is going friday,i'm going saturday.i may ride both days,for sure i will ride saturday.

 

this is a sad thing. i read the article and what was said on the seattle motorcycle club links.
it's just another example of how obvious the state and counties of western washington don't care about the people or thier opinions. they will feel it in thier economy this coming year. it was a very bad move to close it down as the sport has been on the rise consistently for the last 5-8 years and shows no signs of slowing.
the talk about privatizing is good, but just as i read in the article...between the lines... they have other recreational plans for it... most likely to serve some tree-hugger cause. i wish i could follow the money trail on this one, because it already stinks.


secondly- what happened to government OF, BY and FOR the PEOPLE.
