Some view a pavement project on a gravel access road as an improvement and use it as an example of fee-money put to good use (if they can prove that fee-money was even used locally in the first place). However, I think I can safely say many people prefer the primitive access road and don't want the "upgrade"! Yes, I complain about the condition of the road up to Cloud Cap on Mt. Hood, but I would be furious if they paved it (though it does cost money to grade and maintain it even in its current condition). Many of us just want a gravel turnoff to remain just that, and keep the interpretive displays, steps, etc. away. There are plenty of other users who might want these things, but there is a very large amount who do not. We should not pay to walk on forest land. Keep the fees to the developed campgrounds and designated "improved" areas.
