Wayne National Forest, OHIO shutdown!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OMTA received the following letter from Wayne National Forest this morning:

************************************************
Dear participating vendors,
...
Due to the lapse in government funding, the Wayne National Forest will be closing its offices today. In addition, we have been asked to inform all participating vendors to stop selling all trail products including trail permits, passes, and gift certificates, effective immediately. When government funding is restored, the Wayne National Forest office will reopen. We will then notify you when you may resume selling trail permits.

Also, effective today, all Wayne National Forest trails, campgrounds, and recreation areas will be closed until further notice. Please inform your customers so they can make alternate recreation plans.

Thank you,
CHAD WILBERGER
Forest Recreation Program Manager
Wayne National Forest

Stopped mowing around the lakes, shut down a lot of drives to get to hunting/fishing spots, etc. I understand why in some spots due to "cool guys" in 4 wheel drives tearing up the land. But I think there are
