I would like to say a little something about the possible closures

Me and my family traveled to the Oregon dunes 4 times this year and 6 times last year
and stay for 3 to 4 days at a time we ride all three areas but really love winchester bay

we spend about $200 to $300 per trip not counting fuel we go out to dinners visit the casinos
buy the oysters and lots of ATV parts and have purchased 2 brand new quads from coos bay Kawasaki
over the last 3 years

so I feel that any closure of ridding are would greatly affect our enjoyment of the dunes
if noise is a problem why not open some area that is further away from homes

and enforce the noise law that is already in place my bikes are at 85 to 90 dB's
and try real hard to maintain that level

I do understand about areas that have cultural importance should be protected but if a trail is already
there why not leave it open as far as new trails I have noticed a few riders who cut new trails seems to me
a plane closed officer or ranger could be a big deterrent by handing out some hefty fines to the few idiots that are out there
