LUCKY Posted July 30, 2013 Author Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) All permits are sold out http://www.wyrecreationnw.com/Permits/PermitsHome.aspx http://www.wyrecreationnw.com/CreateDocument/PermitMapImages/Vail_Map.pdf Edited July 30, 2013 by LUCKY Quote
miladugga Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 This totally sucks,I checked on the permits 2 weeks ago and they were already sold out. At least it's from Aug. 1 to the end of the year only- I note that bear and elk hunting season opens August 1st, I usually avoid the area from then on anyway, once it fills up with drunk people carrying guns. Still sucks. Quote

tvashtarkatena Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Be sure to take out the security camera first...from behind. Quote
LUCKY Posted August 5, 2013 Author Posted August 5, 2013 Looks like this sign had the desired affect, there was no one in the parking lot Sunday, and it is usually full, especially now that this blog came out http://www.thurstontalk.com/2013/06/17/fossil-rock-yelm/ Quote
LUCKY Posted August 13, 2013 Author Posted August 13, 2013 Deschutes Falls Park STATUSFunded in 1993 WWRP Applicant: Thurston County Parks & Rec WWRP Category: Local Parks WWRP Grant: $441,932 Applicant Match: $441,932 Project Type: Acquisition County: Thurston Legislative District: 2nd This project acquired a 154-acre site at the headwaters of the Deschutes River in SE Thurston County.

RCO Project Number: 92-0359 A swimming hole that was used by the locals, now owned by Thurston co parks, locked behind weyerhaeuser Gates Quote
Off_White Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Thurston County has never opened those falls to public access since they acquired lo those many years ago, so legal access doesn't change much with the new rules, but you're right, there is a lot of stuff that belongs to the citizens of this state locked behind their gates. Quote
LUCKY Posted August 13, 2013 Author Posted August 13, 2013 Correct OFFWHITE...don't mess with my spin bro , it was supposed to be opened eventually as a park after funding for improvements was obtained ...guess maybe not now! Years ago you gave a guy 1 dollar to enjoy the area, benches, potty, cliff diving. And they wonder why kids are fat and play viedo games instead of going outside Quote
Fairweather Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 And they wonder why kids are fat and play viedo games instead of going outside I'm sure the USFS's plan to strangle off access to popular trailheads (aka: Minimum Roads Analysis) will help to mitigate this problem. Quote
LUCKY Posted August 15, 2013 Author Posted August 15, 2013 There's an app for that! or they can just play angry birds Quote
LUCKY Posted August 15, 2013 Author Posted August 15, 2013 There was no maned MOON landing, they got there and the Weyerhaeuser Gate was locked Quote
LUCKY Posted November 20, 2013 Author Posted November 20, 2013 Where is the RAGE? 155,000 acres locked up to public access Thurston co Vail, Fossil, Deschutes river area, no news reporting, nothing on the internet except this blog, and for the privilage of an open space tax break the public and tax payer, Weyerhaeuser must have mussel It's like banking, to big to prosecute or too big to regulate Where is the rage/activist Quote
Fairweather Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 Trespass with the understanding that you will be arrested and/or cited. Challenge the fine and take an assigned court date. Hire a good attorney with experience in public land use issues--one who knows how to/has no qualms about using the media. Who knows, maybe this thing could get dialed all the way back to 1864. Quote
LUCKY Posted November 21, 2013 Author Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) Social Media, Facebook, Twitter, maybe a protest in Federal Way to gain news media I am not that computer savvy and due to my location I was hope'n there would be an activist here that would step up. 155,000 acres Vail Tree farm closed to public access.

Sol Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Anybody address this issue with the Access Fund or WCC? They are the professionals.. Quote

Jens Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Could a crew work on this with the access fund? I miss that place. Really unique movement. Quote
JasonG Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 "As I went walking I saw a sign there And on the sign it said "No Trespassing." But on the other side it didn't say nothing, That side was made for you and me. " Quote
