To whom this may concern,
I enjoy very much riding the sand dunes, I would hate for any more sand to be taken away from us!
For all the people that are fighting for the dunes to be shut down they need to find something better to do with their time! I believe by taking more sand away it is going to cause more accidents, look at Sand lake I like riding at sand lake but it is so small that there is more of a chance of getting hurt by running into another rider. I am very careful when riding and watch out for what is around me but other riders are not... I also believe that shutting the dunes down would create a great problem for the economy in which we ride. The people that are fighting to get them shut down are more then likely retired and could care less what impact it has on the economy in which they live! Think about it really what are the riders hurting, we bring money into the towns in which we ride Oregon and private land owners has allot of dollars invested in the area in which we ride, if the sand is taken away there will be a great impact on allot more then just the riders!!! The question is, is it worth it to just accommodate a few in the community that don't have a life! If your a bird watcher, a mushroom picker or someone that has moved into the area and don't lake the noise then maybe us riders need to create problems for you! I believe riding is not one of the problems the problem is you have nothing better to do with your time!

Sincerely a rider that enjoys the sand with the family and leaves the area in which we occupy clean and we also respect the rules while riding!!!
