I heard of a few groups of people riding through the china fsr over the top and down to tyak areas this year. I asked, and none of them saw any signs saying anything about clousures in the area. But they saw a chit load of new logging in the area, i believe on both the east side and for sure on the southwest side of the mountain. why does this not suprise me? closing an area from the public's access and ( read taxpayers,who probably funded most if not all the access roads in the area) use, but then before the ink is dry on the paperwork the government allows skidders and feller/bunchers into the vari area,that was just proclaimed as senitive habitat????????? I for one will bet a weeks pay to anyone, that i can leave way less of a trace, much less the noise and enviromental distruction left behind, than anyone riding a skidder or any other piece of logging equipment! i have been over china head mountain numerous times over the years, and yet have never seen any change to the jeep trails and roads that was not caused by high snow pack and rain storms. i really get the feeling that government just picks on user groups, like dirt riders, jeepers, and i don't really want to include quadders, as some of them just don't have a clue about tread lightly,because we are easy targets, and they can go back to the public,and bragg about what they accomplished on the enviromental front that week. All the while, they have opened the doors to big and small logging companies, to go in and decimate the same areas, just to have most of it turned into newsprint and sale flyers trying to sell us cheap shit from overseas.
