(Continued from page 11) Speaking of the privileged few, the trail won't require locking up millions of acres of land; such a trail can be comparable with other uses and users of the forest. All it takes is a little planning. To help with the image buildingconversion process, there'll be some subliminal ORV education built into interpretive sites along the trail, and enforcement to insure adequate mufflers on the bikes and courteous operators. The NMA feels this trail will have national. as well as state, significance. They note that , " T h er e is an overpowering sense (by trail riders) of having been cheated out of a rightful share of America's outdoor recreation resources. Parents of trail biking families are at a loss to explain to their children how a: democratic system can designate millions of acres for the exclusive use of elite wilderness users and do virtually nothing for the 10% of the population that participates in ORVTCCreation." Strong stuff. And true. It's obvious that we'll never get our share of the recreation buck and opportunities unless we make a move. This is a first step . and a hell of a good one for all of us, all over America. Get behind it . You can help get things rolling by starting a petition in your area - your favorite bike shop, race track, club or wherever. It should be entitled "Petition for the construction of a trailbike trail of state and national significance, " and it should be directed to The Supervisors of Wenatchee and Mt. BakerSnoqualmie National Forests, The Reigonal Forester of Region Six , The Commissioner of Public Lands in the State of Washington. The Interagency Committe for Outdoor Recreation and the Federal Heritage. Conservation and Recreation Service. It should be worded as follows: We , the undersigned citizens and outdoor recreationists do hereby submit this petition for the immediate funding, planning, construction and operation of a continuous trailbike trail of not less than 200 miles in length. Said trail to begin in the vicinity (within six air miles) of Section 13. Township 12N, Range 13E (Ahtahnum) thence traveling westward approximately along the rou te as detailed on the master map submitted by the Northwest Motorcycle Association Trail Division and ending in the vicinity of Section 30, Township 19N , Range lIE (Greenwater). Said facility to incl ud e the signs, trailheads , campgrounds and other features necessary for utilization and enjoyment by trailbike enthusiasts. We further ask for close adherence to the detailed proposal as submitted by the NMA Trail Division and which is an inseparable pan of th is petition. Then mail the completed petition to the following address: Northwest Motorcycle Association c/o Ron Morgenthaler Crystal Creek Circle Issaquah. Washington 98021' One last thing . Bert Cole is Washington's Commissioner of Public Lands , and directs that state's Department of Natural Resources. Mr. Cole believes ORV recreationists have just as much right to use the land as any other recreationist. But he also knows they'll need cash to get their share. Thus he was instrumental in the creation of a legislatively enacted ORV program that has 1.6 million dollars to spend this year alone in building ORV facil ities . As Mr . Cole has provided the cash to build such a trail. it seems only fitting to name it after him ; with your help it will be built, and your reward will be riding it. • 325 X 21 S26 $29.95 plus F.E.T.
