Show C2 — The Herald Journal Logan Utah Friday August 2 2002 Poll Continued from Cl fortunate to Find a couple of adjacent sites that were open for three days “I’ve come to Tony Grove for years and I love it” Hodges said “You don't always Find ' camp spots because it gels used but Monday mornings are usually OK" Ranger Cruz said Tony Grove is the First campground to Fill up with Sunrise and Guinavah-Malib- u close behind Campers art increasingly seeking developed sites with running water and bathrooms as well as larger parking spots “They sure could use some more spots” Wilson said “The Forest Service needs to update improvements and we need more access to water bathrooms and picnic tables” Cruz said funding cuts have limited such projects and this year firefighting is eatiiig more of the budget than ever “If we could get additional funding the First thing we’d look at is upgrading what we have” he' added and then consider adding more camp sites or new campgrounds “Funding is the biggest difficulty we're dealing with” As for other problems irresponsible users were listed 8 times in the survey followed by “environmentalists” and motorized users (4 mentions each) Nearly 75 percent favored the highway-widenin- g project (although sev- era! said they loathed driving through the work sites) and nearly everyone (95 percent) opposed any private development such as restaurants or condominiums on the Cache Fifty percent of those questioned supported the reintroductionof animals such as the wolf or lynx with 42 percent opposing it and 8 percent undecided More than 62 percent said a person who requires rescuing should pay for costs incurred by the rescue party and 95 percent said a person responsible for a forest Fire should pay for resulting dam- - : ages Most

mountain biking and climbing Sixty-nin- e percent said they’d never hunted 22 percent said they hunt up to four times a year and 9 percent said they hunt five times or more Seventy-tw- o percent said they’d never mountain hiked 20 percent said they bike up to four times a year and 8 percent said they bike five times or more Dustin Anderson of Nibley who camps hunts hikes Fishes and mountain bikes counts few hunters among his college-ag- e friends “I go deer hunting” he said “but I don't like it as much as hiking and mountain biking and stuff Cruz said he’s nodded that more youngsters are biking and rock climbing but does- n’t expect hunting to die ouL “We're always gonna have people hunting” he said ‘Tor many it’s a family tradition That may change a little as people become more involved in ‘city’ activities but there will always be hunters” One other complaint had to do with the way many rangers have been taken out of the forest to handle desk jobs or litigation Wilson bemoaned the shift from rangers running campgrounds to private “camp hosts” recalling how the rangers were always quick to lend a hand or provide information about activities or wildlife “I miss the Forest Service involvement” he said “I used to love to see those green Forest Service trucks come through It gave me a sense of well-beithat they were watching over things” Cl effect “One thing that bothers me is there’s a lot more garbage than there used to be People can pack it in but they can’t pack it out” One solution is clean-u- p projects More than 55 percent of those surveyed said they
