More Closure!
        My family and I were camped out at Winchester Bay last weekend and  had to run into town to buy some parts. Talking to the lady across the
counter she informed us that where we were camped and a very large portion of the "ATV" access area in Winchester Bay will be closed. Basically from main camp ground area clear down to the last parking area. They will have an access road that you will have to travel, "Gravel" "That is hard on Paddles also" to access the small dune area. At a current meeting they announced the closure and in her words "it did not matter what we said! The decision was already made, the meeting was only to inform us what was coming!"                                                                  We camped out in the Sand and I was picking up bottles and broken
glass everywhere. My kids wanted to run around with their shoes off but could not. I love Sand dunning and the general sport,  I see more closures every year and people that take advantage of the sport and don't pick up after themselves are ruining it for everyone else. Earlier in the year we made a trip to Sand Lake after a big weekend, same scenario, what a mess trash and bottles left everywhere. Some how the message needs to get out to everyone if they want to continue having access to any off-road
exercise they better start picking up after themselves and treating the areas with respect.
