[sac-board] Re: 5 Mile Meadow

 
Where I read the sign when you first turn onto Cherry Rd it says "The Road  
is closed to Cross country travel". If you were to traverse the whole length of 
 the road and meet up with the Orme School Rd then you would be in violation. 
 Going to our little neck of Cherry Rd II does not violate anything. As long 
as  we don't change the drainage pattern at Cherry Rd II we won't be in any 
kind of  trouble. If the road were closed completely there would be a barrier 
preventing  you from entering the road and that has not happened yet. :-)

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
