I received an email from O.Q. Chris Johnson inviting us to be there as planned this weekend..They still have some othe jobs we can perform. One, is to winch a pic-nic table out of the river and they are going to paint it red-white-blue and place it at the beginning of the road! Plus they need stuff hauled to the Urdahls Campsite so people can enjoy the campsite next year. Since our trip in June, Several 4x4 enthusiasts have traversed the road to the trailhead! In fact, now that the FS has emptied the outhouse, it is securely locked up! (they don't want another overflow issue) The 4x4 guys from Elko are there hunting and are camped at the trailhead! Less than 100 feet from a LOCKED PUBLIC PRIVVY! Thus, you can guess where they are taking care of business!! It is a shame the Forest Circus has to be so extreme in everything they do!! By the way, the actual cost so far according to Mr. Johnson is well over $15,000.00 ! Plus as he stated, the additional cost of 20 or so FS vehicles and staff that were there to manage the whole
thing will probably run the total cost over $20,000.00 !!! The BBQ will be held at the 'Jarbidge Campground' once owned and operated by the FS untill this year when the land and all rights were purchase by the Shovel Brigade!! Mr. Johnson advised me that the FS is still contending that the outhouse, well, and other structures are FS property and the y will be removed! So the fight is still on!!
Come on up this Saturday, join the fun! If you can't make it, write your state or federal representatives and show them the FS is again trying to rise above the law! And sieze privately owned buildings (Attached to the land) That are no longer rightfully theirs!! I am personally planning on going to the end of the road again! Mainly to see the path now taken by others!!! We'll see ya there!!
