The CJA has started a petition to request a temporary restriction to the Mclean Creek OHV area during the May Long Weekend.  We need everyone in the OHV community to sign this petition. 

If you have wheeled or plan to wheel in Mclean Creek, you should be signing!
If you are tired of picking up  garbage, you should be signing!
If you are fed up with the media blaming the off road community, you should be signing!
If you are disgusted with SRD using May Long Weekend as an excuse to close designated OHV areas, you definitely need  to SIGN!

Take a few seconds to read and sign this. And let others know...

I am curious... what are peoples thoughts on this idea:

 (in the case the petition doesn't do anything)... What if the 'real' 4wd community voluntarily stayed away from Mclean - May long?  And made sure the word was out to the media that 4x4 enthusiasts have taken this step to try to separate themselves from the riff-raff...

...I'd like to hear opinions on that type of thing...

For the most part, members from organized clubs do stay away from the problem areas during May Long Weekend.  The unorganized 4wd crowd is harder to convince and for the most part still do not understand. 

If you do a search on here, you’ll see that last year the media was hard pressed to find footage of 4wd vehicles off-roading in those area’s so, they used footage of CJA picking up garbage whilst pointing the blame on 4x4 community.  :o :o :o

My only worry is, if they can not go to Mclean, where will they go and will we then lose THAT area.  We lost Meadow Creek last year...

And, no, I don't have a good solution.  I do agree this is a good idea.

...the media does love it's dramatic effect... makes you wonder if they are running the news or a reality show.

They will pack wiaprous till its overflowing with drugs, parties, fires, fighting and drunk reckless driving.
..as they do every year anyway.. there will just be more.

signed.  good idea in my opinion.  The drunks/partyers are not there to wheel they are just there to destroy things anyway.  I personaly don't wheel there on may long anyway.  I actualy havn't wheeled on a may long at all because of them.

DONE!!!!

I think it's a GREAT plan.  Hope they close both Mclean & Ghost for the long weekends.  Would like to be a bystander watching everyone being turned away, just to see their reactions :P.
