ACTION ALERT: Doran Dr./ Oddessa Cyn Gate Keeper bypass closed off

[JeepGal]

We have many truck and trailer owners on this board

There's a place called A&K Railroad Materials in Mira Loma that sells 6 grades of recycled railroad tie.

I'll give them a call on Monday if I can get the opportunity.

Nice! I wonder if a local supplier would "donate" some railroad ties in exchange for some publicity... or at least give a good price.

Those suckers are over 8' long. We'd need a way to transport them.

[JeepGal]

Great ideas . Keep em coming.

I'll check on the availability of railroad ties when I'm up there next week.

I Noticed That The Park Already Has R.R.ties For A Boundry, Can't You Bolt Some More Ties Across The Tops, Making It More Of A Fence?

Telephone polls...like we did on 2n17x

How did that work out? Were they cut and planted upright like posts or were they layed on their sides? Got any pics?

Id like to start a discussion of ideas on how to barricade the area so that no one can enter the Regional Park, while still allowing full access to the bypass.

Thanks for your input.

.....my point is, your preaching to the choir here....unless your prepared to police the thousands of OHV users that have no clue who MJR is you'll be the only ones abiding by the boundries.....

Its an odd way to agree with me. (preaching to the choir)

I wont need to police thousands of OHV users because we intend on coming up with a reasonable resolution that we can all adhere to.

This notice is to everyone

I am done listening to negativity on this thread. If you can not add to this conversation with something constructive, abstain from posting. If you choose to post something negative, your post will be removed and you may get banned.

MJR will be out there to help if it's 115, or 15 below. One of the many reasons I love this group of people is because we don't just talk. If resolution to this is pushed out to mid-July, I'll be there to help.

Haha... it's very highly possible that Calico will be 115* by mid-July!

I see that someone is asking about the barriers. When I saw it almost 4 weeks ago it was the several boulders about 4 to 5 feet around lined up from one side of the trail to the other. They did line them up so that a jeep would have to drive up the side of the trail, but I think that would cause any jeep to roll over. This barrier is right at the bottom of the bypass as it starts up to the top going through the really twisted turns. I hope that made sense for those who have driven it. I don't see how a jeep could go over the boulders as it was only one row deep and I could easily see any jeep high centering on it. Besides, Kodiak has a point, we should abide by what they have closed down, and not contribute to the reason why it was shut down. I am going through my pics from that weekend but I don't think I took any.

Kodiak, this trail wasn't closed by crazy kids. A Calico Ghost Town employee has confirmed it to me that when they graded the new entrance into Calico Ghost Town, they had the heavy equip opperators go to that side of the property to close the bypass road. This was the cheapest way to keep the unwanteds out of the north campground. The barrier is on Park land therefore trying to appease the Regional Park and come up with a solution that everyone agrees to is our number one goal.

See posts #85-87...complete write up, pictures, and videos.
