(reposted from NWKITE.com) Within one week after this news article came out in the Bend Bulletin about snowkiting in the Bend area. http://www.bendbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.d ... /FRONTPAGE The BKC started receiving emails from activists all the way from Santa Cruz California telling us to "Stay out of the Wilderness". We then found this post on the Wild Wilderness Website" from the same people trying to shutdown Dutchman Flats and Tumamlo mountain to all snowmobiles. http://www.wildwilderness.org/content/view/982/58/ After hours of riding and having one of our best sessions ever yesterday with a steady NW wind at at around 15mph (Unbelievable how this place works on any wind direction). Chris Sabo from the Forest Service drove up on his snowmobile and polity said " BOYS I AM SORRY TO INFORM YOU THAT WE GOT THE CALL YESTERDAY AND SNOWKITING IS NOW ILLEGAL WITHIN THE WILDERNESS BOUNDARY. We are dumbfounded and cant believe we just lost our local best and only spot to snowkite. We new is was coming but thought at least we would have a chance to voice an opinion or prove our point. But no it's over. Please send comments and advice to Tim Carlson bendkitecrew.com Thanks and it was unbelievable while it lasted. |
