Sounds like the same path as Tellico?? Kiss it goodbye!!!!
Quite possible for sure. They (the State) did something similar with Franklin State Forest where they closed it for maintenance for X amount of time, then extended it to Y amount of time, and eventually reopened Z a handful of miles to OHV traffic but that was it.Sounds like the same path as Tellico??

That for sure. Plus more online publicity/knowledge of its existence, plus not attempting to "tread lightly", plus virtually no maintenance performed has certainly had a negative effect overall.Damn sxs ruin everything
Forestry has to survey the timber occasionally (like every decade or so) as part of the forestry management plan. My thoughts are they are getting ready to sell some of the timber so it will be closed for a while.Quite possible for sure.

What grinds my gears here is that the State had done minimal to no maintenance here for a long, long time (dating back to when I lived/rode up there 2004 to 2010ish) so to suddenly "care about maintenance" is quite interesting.
