	I was wondering how many actually took the time to send in a comment on the Quetico Park Management Plan options. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Today is the last day they will be accepted. (I think)

	I would hope EVERYONE who uses the Q resource takes the time to comment on the plan! Like I tell my non-voting friends every election cycle, You don't vote, you don't get to bitch Just like in a political election, you never really know who's vote or input can/will tip the scale. Sometimes it's comes down to a handful of votes or a insightful comment.

	Amen to that. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. We just had a local council scrap a plan due to "vocal oposition" at town hall meetings. Turns out that of the 700 in attendance, only 5 were very vocal. If you can make the time, please do so.

	I sent mine in weeks ago and made many comments. I'm pretty convinced that we will be seeing designated campsites very soon, road access via the Wawiag River, and outfitting services oriented toward Atikokan area businesses.

Do you know what all of our comments have been or something else we should know?

	I'm also curious about any evidence that would indicate a predetermined outcome, is that what you're telling us? Also, it may be possible to send comments online over the weekend...worth a shot if you procrastinated...

	I sent mine in. Am especially interested in issues like the designated campsites and the possible introduction/spread of uses like mountain biking. As much as I like to bike on the road, and truck camp on an abandoned farm we have access to during the summer and during fall hunting seasons, I do not think those activities are appropriate for quiet, pristine areas. Bikes (and ATVs and horses) do significant damage. That's a fact. They also attract a loud, rowdy and blundering crowd. Kentucky is expanding an initiative called Adventure Tourism, which, among other things, includes cross-state trails where people can ride ATVs, bikes and horses on trails and camp. Neat in its own way, but when those trails cross streams, the damage is extensive. I realize the long-term goals of the Canadian park governing crowd are to increase use in Quetico and open it up to people who like do things other than canoe or who are unable because of health issues to paddle and portage, but that seems to defeat the purpose. Some areas -- like Quetico -- SHOULD be limited in use. Thanks for reminding us, db. Not sure how much weight comments from a guy who lives 950 miles from the border will have, if any, but they at least know how I feel. - kypaddler
