Made it to the meeting. What I spoke about....

Please re-evaluate the limited recreation created by the CERP/Rehydration plans.
I advised the money set aside for a riding area would be better spent in the southblocks.

76,317 acres and we cant share it? Get real....
Allow ATVs for hunting (again).
Mark off a rec riding area.(keep folks out of the "sensitive" area)
Set some rules.
A bathroom or two would be nice.
Trash cans.
Charge a few bucks and so on.
