'RATTLESNAKE ROUND-UP'

Beginning April 1, 2003, the Rattlesnake Bay OHV Trail has been closed to recreational riding of motorized Off Highway Vehicles due to soil erosion and other environmental concerns. Following is a collection of correspondence between Fred Pittman, President of the Mississippi Hi-Point Enduro Riders and various Forest Service Officials and Federal Legislators related to the ongoing task of getting the Trail reopened and preserving (and hopefully expanding) our access to the area.The purpose for posting this information is to keep the Riding Public informed with regard to what we are trying to accomplish, what we are up against in this struggle to retain access to Public Land, and hopefully inspire others to get involved in the process of PRESERVING OUR RIGHT TO RIDE ON PUBLIC LAND which was purchased with tax-payer dollars and continues to be "protected" from us by personnel whose salaries are paid with tax-payer dollars.  

Any questions, comments or suggestions should be sent to FandBPittman@peoplepc.com.
