Of course.. LOTS has happened since and is still happening.I have a lot of EC4WDA "national" info.. from OH and PA and SEMA. There is Regional stuff too.Go grab a soda or other beverage, recline the office chair back a little and get ready for a lengthy read.

I always fear that I am forgetting something or many things when I write this. If I had a full time or even part time secretary, I might be OK.. but seeing as my salary doubled from last year I simply can not afford to hire one.. unless they'd be willing to work for the same pay that I get.

That means checking with the local authorities to find out if a road is still indeed an open http://ec4wda-landuse.blogspot.com/2008/06/ct-dep-sux.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (ToxicTurtle)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936838208681412078.post-7208349494515131204Sun, 04 May 2008 15:33:00 +00002008-05-04T10:31:07.193-07:00Here we are again.I simply can't believe that I have enough to fill this every week, yet, time and again, I do.First off.ALERT!There are now land owner issues at Pain Hill. There is a very small chunk of the area that is privately owned and not part of the state forest. I was contacted just recently regarding this issue pertaining to the Wheelin 4 Healin event taking place there this past http://ec4wda-landuse.blogspot.com/2008/05/those-lovable-trees.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (ToxicTurtle)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936838208681412078.post-6555158296352586851Sun, 27 Apr 2008 12:57:00 +00002008-04-27T07:40:45.087-07:00Despite the fact that I haven't been able to sit and actually write something in about two weeks, there isn't a whole lot of stuff taking place.I've been out wheeling a couple of times and hiking in northern VT. Tis the season.. when most weekends I'll be gone, which means that getting my blog out will be hit or miss in terms of schedule.So... what DO we have happening?Regional:The road/trail http://ec4wda-landuse.blogspot.com/2008/04/slowin-down.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (ToxicTurtle)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936838208681412078.post-7806448249108818420Sat, 05 Apr 2008 15:30:00 +00002008-04-05T09:08:16.902-07:00Its been three weeks since the last blog. I have been very busy at work and haven't been able to get on this confounded machine as often as I usually am. As I mentioned last time we met, once the season really kicks in, I may even be harder pressed to get these out every week. I will try my damnedest to make them happen though.Several of things right off the top of the bat:CFPA ANNUAL TRAIL http://ec4wda-landuse.blogspot.com/2008/04/2-weeks-well-maybe-3.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (ToxicTurtle)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936838208681412078.post-7262031836101620906Sun, 16 Mar 2008 15:19:00 +00002008-03-16T12:04:54.974-07:00Someone told me the planets must be aligned based on the news item where we have worked out a deal to gain access to certain state forest roads here in CT. Unfortunately, the same day, we were told that Lakeview is CLOSED. Without getting into many details, the fact of the matter is that what we have been driving is mostly designated enduro motorcycle course.

He also found out that no where in their plan did they mention motorized recreation.

Is your truck ready?Are YOU ready?Its my weekly time to ramble on about Land Use. Every week I think.. "what the heck am I going to say this week?" and yet, I end up with something."Ya gotta work to play" as the saying goes. Steve spoke a bit about Volunteers in his blog this week, I'd like to touch on the same for a bit before I hit on http://ec4wda-landuse.blogspot.com/2008/03/still-winter.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (ToxicTurtle)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936838208681412078.post-1482060541381498831Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:09:00 +00002008-02-25T16:03:29.165-08:00Its another week in the bottle. Here I sit, at Bradley, waiting out the snow. Heading into Vegas today. Not sure when this will actually get posted. I’ll tellya… I’ve been saying this for about a year and no one wants to believe me but in comparison to when I first started wheeling, there are at least 3 times the places to wheel than there was back then.

Sittin writing land use stuff. You do realize that when the summer hits and I'm out every weekend on the trails, cutting new ones, doing clean ups, land Use seminars, etc, that you won't have this wonderful literary masterpiece to look forward to each week. HaHaHa.Anyway... what do we have going this week?As I have mentioned previously, we have a situation where, between http://ec4wda-landuse.blogspot.com/2008/02/this-land-use-thing.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (ToxicTurtle)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936838208681412078.post-5947808387989517385Sat, 09 Feb 2008 17:12:00 +00002008-02-11T18:15:03.469-08:00It seems as though I'll be pushed even further into the 21st century now.
