Trouble at Nass

Is the south side of E. Chuppens water company land? If not , I say we establish an unofficial parking spot there; sorta where the end of the Scoville twisties cross and head up to the 4-way...

Street view on Google maps is showing a few areas to park a couple cars. Might be a good alternative.

From the recent updates to the CF thread it looks like Stone may also be off limits. Pretty sure it was CNR that posted he was walking the dog over there and saw the DEP ticketing MX'rs. Nothing about MTB'rs getting ticketed over there yet but I imagine its not to far off. Another guy in that thread mentioned that he was hassled by a water department emplyee this morning taking down plate numbers. He was further told that the DEP would be cracking down on any riding on state land.

Why? It seems so senseless that the DEP would be harassing MTBers. It's not like we're talking about quads here--these are pretty low-impact, if ridden responsibly. I thought they wanted people to enjoy the state lands? :roll:

This is encouraging:

Just called the DEP to get the scoop, we can ride in the park area but they do not want any building of bridges, ramps etc, or cutting trees or any alterations to the trail.

For those not following along; it's sounding pretty dicey at Nass:
