I wonder if this in addition to the land use permits required by local townships prior to using federal lands.

it seems as soon as people start to get out and enjoy our natural resources, along comes some government idiot that sees the opurtunity to exploit these family outings .

i have been to the au sable more times than i can count , hunted thoes woods for over 15 years now .

pay a parking tax after they closed off a vast magority of the roads we onced used ? my driveway is larger than the whirlpool parking lot , my backyard is bigger than the alcona dam parking lot . neither parking lot has a trash can or an outhouse , we fishermen and the local townspeople clean the area .

yes , some government idiot has figured a way to squeese money for nothing out of the publics pockets again .

i'de like to see our taxes dropped doller for doller that they take in from these new rules , and adjusted to reflect the closed off trails and forests we once enjoyed .

why pay more for less ?
