save the gulches lawsuit

[rushthezeppelin]

I'm so glad that CORE is taking these scum bags to task on this. It's about time that the 4WD community starts hitting back in a meaningful way. Surely there's not a judge out there, with a functioning brain, that would look at this and not see the blatant actions to conspire for closures of legal and established roadways.

Unfortunately there are a lot of activist judges out there that can and will do exactly that. Our judicial system is very broken atm.

Well said @TheHoneyBadger. It is no coincidence. The end game doesn't look good at all once you take everything into consideration.

It's not just National Forest land either. BLM and other land is being fenced off too. Like you say, it's land that people could live off too and close by metro areas... no coincidence. You used to be able to drive all through Colorado on little backroads. Now if you want to go somewhere in the mountains you must take the interstate or main highways.

I for one am excited to own nothing and be happy!

Saw an update on the lawsuit today.

Pike-San Isabel had an agenda when it banned off-roading on some national forest roads, lawsuit claims

The process was driven by extremist environmental groups and anti-motorized activists within the forest service, plaintiff Patrick McKay says

Does anyone have any updates on this case? Is it moving forward? Is there any progress?

I have it from a reliable local source, that people are being ticketed on a regular basis now and they’ve torn down signage about “Hacket gulch” being a road, etc.

Last updates I'm seeing on the Web is from 5 months ago... 🥺 They went to litigation. Which could take a very long time for information gathering.
Hopefully they will have an update video soon.

They do it all very quietly and on the sly. Pisses me off so much. The UTV crowd really has made it easy for the Forest Service to do this under the guise of protecting the land.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. That won’t work with thinking about it the way you are. Like it or not, those ATV’s and involvement in getting them on board to support these lawsuits is critical.

I do get it.

Maybe the two are outrunning each other, but it seems like the trail closure battle has increased exponentially since UTVs started blasting the back roads. Are lawsuits actually being won? Seems like fighting the government in court is a war of attrition sooner or later.

By the way, I own two ATVs and a UTV.
