Kieran, I see your point about hiring more people, but I feel you are taking the easiest way out of the liability issue by restricting access. We are feeling more and more restrictions whether it's snowmobiling or atving, or just taking a hike where once it was wilderness but now is a housing development. Is there a way to make the snowcat trails wider or on a less steeper incline? Yes it may cost a bit more, but then you would be thinking about both of our interests, not restricting ours.

BTW, what are your future plans for the tenured area? Basically, I am flat out asking if you intend to apply for exclusive use as Selkirk Wilderness has? Not that I am expecting the truth on that question, just tired of beating around the bush on this subject.

And lastly, again you failed to mention the meaning of "temporarily restricting access" as quoted from the local paper. I would really like to know what that statement means.

Thanks,
Kevin
