On that note... you think the clearcutting in Mclean is bad now... just wait. This is just the beginning to the plan they already have in place.


My understanding is that this coming winter 07/08 will be the last for logging at Maclean.
Then they are moving up to ghost country as that is where pine beetles have been found.
I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

You are correct Ian. It has been moved up to finish this year. The sawmill has been very good to the riding community. We flag our trails and they keep them 'clean' for us. Unfortunately, the blowdown this year was more than anyone could have imagined happening.
They are off to Waiporous. i do believe it is the Hunter Valley/Harold Creek area. i will contact them to see if we (the 4x4 community) flags the trails in Harold Creek, will they also show us the respect thay have shown the bike community.
If we had a few guys on bikes and quads, we could flag Harold Creek in a day easily.
i know Harold creek is closed to 4x4's but....
