Pugmire, Garden City Council, came to the county commissioners to see if there could be some off road maintenance in Hodges canyon and others being used by OHV. He said that a lot
have been washed out by the high spring runoffs this year. Pugmire said it is the upper part of the canyon which needs the most road maintenance "We need to do something, it affects tourism as well," he said.
The Forest Service put bridges in Hodges which has helped. The Richardson trail is another problem especially around the spring area. New road improvement collects water which runs
into the spring.
Commissioner Bill Cox said they knew
there were some issues to be addressed, but although the trails are public, the private land owners bordering the trails don’t want more usage on those trails. One of the roads
needs to be relocated, but also needs property owner permission.
"It is hard to do good improvement without going on private land, but after last year when some cattle were shot, the property owners
are not amenable to helping to
increase use. The county would like to get the roads and
acess to the springs moved so that the springs were not impacted," said Cox.
