we are about to lose another state ohv park here in california. do to f-ing environmentalists. carnige park is located between tracy and livermore for those that dont know. its home of some of the greatest hillclimb comps. the peer group has found yet another loop hole to save a b.s. creek that runs about 4 weeks out of the year. we already lost clear creek, for those of you that dont know clear creek was awsome. if your from cali this should be a priority for you. we need your help.

a good day at carnegie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCcxZBQoK2w#)

if you have never been here. its just a free for all of steep hills everywhere. such a fun place to push yourself to the edge. i grew up riding here and its a shame i might never get to ride here again. tons of park rangers might lose there jobs also. what a shame.

I just signed the petition, even though I live in Maine!!  We just cannot afford to keep losing riding areas.  I contact my representatives and senators everytime I hear about the government closing off access to land, no matter where it is!!

Would I be able to sign, even though I am canadian, you see, here in Canada, you can pretty much ride anywhere you want, as long, as it's not private property, wait, scratch that, owners of property will put up no trespassing on dirtbiking trails, just so that if you do get hurt, you were trespassing, and if you didn't get hurt, you weren't trespassing, or they don't care that your there. We have no OHV access trails, we just have trails, I don't think i have ever heard of a trail closing in Canada. It really sucks that you Americans have to deal with those environmentalists. Anyway, if you guys run out of trails, come to Canada, we have loads of them, so many trails per capita, and some pretty sweet views.

Happy to sign the petition. I also made comments to the effect such a closure would have on interstate commerce. Most people only think about the effects on local businesses. What about all the gas stations, hotels, resteraunts, etc...? If I cannot ride at this park in California all of the money I would have spent in the various states traveling from Texas does not get spent! Arizona, New Mexico, you folks would not be getting any of that travel money pumped into your economy. Doesn't seem like much? Let' see, $400.00 for hotels, $200.00-$300.00 for food, $200- $400.00 for gas. Just think this is for ONE family of 4, so you can see how quickly the money adds up. My point is these land closures affect us all in bad ways.
