Putting Gates Up At Aunts Creek Public Use

[RogueAgent]

I just got off the phone with the Corps and the gentleman I spoke with said the gate is only going to be used in the event of a flood or government shut down. It is NOT going to be used to keep people out in the off season. I hope this is true.

I hope the gate falls over.

Hope you are right on the gate closing. That is my main place to put in...

Well most criminals are also lazy, and don't like to work hard to steal something. For a moment let me be a small devils advocate, if the park/campground was closed and all the buildings razed to the ground, BUT the ramp, road, and parking lot left open and available how many would still be upset.

That would be a good solution. They tried to block off the H ramp, but did not get it done. Their boulders kept getting hauled to the ditch. Might be a good place for their gates.

If that is the case, then why could the same go for Viney Creek?? Leave the ramps accessible.

They see dollar signs to finance more govt employees.

Dave I do bot think that is what they see. But they might see a way to employ out of work reservist. The program is called active duty for training( or it was last time I was around it 20 years ago) . They do not like government employees because they cannot be marched the same way you do a platoon. All this gate closing and such is already in their budget. and if its not there they can dig into the grandest apple pie of them all---- Discretionary spending. It bet it was nothing more than some little engineers idea to impress the big engineer.Then when you realize how half a--- the big engineer is you will understand how these thing happen. they blow a big pile of money with such thinking. Believe me I seen close to 40 yrs of this kind of stuff. And it is very prevalent in the DOD Dept. of Defense.

If you all are really serious about this you will do it as a Group maybe even petitioning and getting the press involved. I posted something about this on the other gate closings. Zero is what will happen if a couple of you contact you congressman. I know just how that works. I have written many statements for your glorious leaders to " to incorporate into a reply for their constituents" You need to display a fighting attitude and a determination to push it. Often people make the mistake of thinking you or asking for his help. To hell with that get a bunch together and demand he do something about it. Just be sure have dotted your I's and crossed your T's about the law and situation. I am sure if you make a big enough stink they will smell it.

As far as the gate goes I would imagine security cameras would have been as good.

As far as stopping anyone from going in there to steel there is boats you know. That is a problem around here at times. Really to me it smells like there is some other motive or motives and the theft gave them the excuse to do this.

If we steal their gate what will they do. Wtih their mentality they would tear up the asphalt.
