Re: Who else got their central cascades permit today?

The court cases about the northwest forest pass say that the forest service can't charge for parking unless there are amenities provided. That's the requirement listed in the bill passed by congress. The court cases are a little ambiguous so I can see why some people think the court cases say the f...

Re: Who else got their central cascades permit today?

not going to repeat this exchange again :) Of course not. You've long complained about certain areas requiring fees to use, yet when you are presented with un-refutable evidence of not having to pay a fee, you still say you have to pay a fee. You don't have to pay the NWFP unless you use the amenit...

Does anyone know what the fine is if you get caught not having a permit?
$0 if you start coughing up a storm when you see a Forest Ranger then yell out that you have COVID-19 and urge social distancing so the Ranger doesn't go on oxygen.

Re: Who else got their central cascades permit today?

You're almost there - if they provide the amenities :) One more time...here's the judge's statement from Fragosa et al vs USFS: On April 28 U.S. District Judge Terry J. Hatter Jr. “found that the USFS cannot charge fees to visitors who park their vehicles and head off down the trail without using a...

That may seem contradictory that I think the nwfp is legal but the three sisters fees and limited use is not legal :)
And the NWFP is legal, if you use the amenities!

I am fantasizing flaunting this just to make a court case because this is not legal :)
Huh...if you won, you wouldn't abide by your own victory based on your posts about the NWFP. :lol:

Re: Public Lands Getting HAMMERED by Crowds

Yes I know this has nothing to do with overcrowded Public lands :) And this is the kind of crap that gets threads locked. Take it somewhere else so people can talk about the OP's issue! We're trying!

Re: Public Lands Getting HAMMERED by Crowds

Since states cannot control who travels between states, individual state policy only goes so far. I would add that Oregon's excellently low mortality rating - yes, thank you Gov. Brown - is only behind four other states, two of which are Alaska and Hawaii, who obviously do have certain advantages (...

Re: Public Lands Getting HAMMERED by Crowds

One big factor driving the concentrated crowds right now is all the areas that are closed from the fires. Speaking of which, has anyone heard ANYTHING on the re-opening of highway 224? Highway 22 has been re-opened for months now and 224 is still closed with no announced plan or even phased re-open...
