[sac-board] Re: 5 Mile Meadow

David, According to Andrew, who seems to have a good working knowledge
of these things, the sign is referring to off roading & such. He's
indicated as long as we stay out of the wash, we're OK. At this point is
kind of moot as I think the weekend is going to be a lost cause anyway.

Rick,
    The Cherry II site had a forest service sign that said the road was
closed due to (I believe it said) erosion, plant life, etc.  Twenty feet
down the road someone crossed the berm and went back in there.  Matt
went down and looked at the sign and he agreed with me that I think we
were in violation of forest service rules and subject to fines.  That i
smy 2cents worth about the Cherry II site.  I just don't know.

Clear Skies,
David
