I like the abbreviations on the bottom of the page. I have half a chance of figuring out who and or what.

This new forum format drives me nuts. Impossible to find on iPhone, finally figured I have to look under "Posts" and not "Latest Activity" on the iMac to see the attached minutes.

The minutes read positive - will be interesting to see what the consultant says. What groups have signed an agreement for the area?

As most of you already know that I am a bit of a conspiracy theorist. There have already been several studies of the years on this area, originally it was noise from the loging many years ago then it was campers along the road making too much noise, now it is ORV noise.

No ORV group to my knowledge has signed up to the governments "partnership Agreement" which in itself is interesting as this partnership agreement has been volleyed about for some time but no defined agreement has been proposed by RSTBC. If RSTBC would put something in writing perhaps some group would step up to the plate?

If no one that attends the CRAG meetings challenges RSTBC on the present claim that only "agreement" holders can see the consultants report, I suspect the consultants report will be cherry picked and specific items used against ORV users.

So here is to hoping that someone on the CRAG can get the report released for all ORV users to read.
