I think it is definitely the consensus that nobody wants fencing put up. I agree that if it's possible to add additional signs and have an education process before fencing is put up it should be tried to see what happens. But there is always a but. Signs and education cost money and the cost of materials goes up everyday. I would hate to see ending up spending twice as much to do the same thing in the long run. The people that are riding in the closed areas are very few but they are spoiling it for everybody. I believe in the long run that if they want a fence they are going to get a fence or worse being complete closure. Barefoot Bob we feel your pain brother but you really don't understand what it takes to reopen areas that have been designated wilderness by congress. Yes it is still public land that you can look at and walk on all you want but don't think about doing anything more than that.
