When I click on the either of the two links listed above it opens face book and tells me I must be logged in to view it.    So...I have no way of logging in right now as the boss is asleep and it's not safe to wake here  ;)

Hold it.....I think I've got something sorted now.   I have been opening the forum through IE with no luck with the links.   But just for a lark I tried opening it on Google Chrome and it opened the link from there just fine.   Don't know why one and not the other....but it works so I'm happy with it.

I wonder if Emad got some vid of 'the bridge' ::)

Move away from the dark side (exploder) and welcome to the light (chrome).  :)
Glad it's working for you now.

However, it's difficult to comprehend such policies that have logging and mining all over the place then complain about recreational users.

I agree.

It is pretty easy to comprehend.  Mining, logging and grazing pay money to the government.  Managing off road users and making sure they comply with the rules costs money.

The discussion about a blanket alpine closure is a result of the SSRP and the impending (by next summer) PLUZing of the open areas between highway 3 and Kananaskis.  The SSRP talks of requiring closure to motorized use in delicate alpine areas.  Certain people in Alberta parks have eluded to using elevation as a blanket basis for determining what trails are acceptable and what are not.  It would not surprise me to see a park created that covers the remaining open portion of the divide above a certain elevation, thus making the closure clear and permanent.

Not that is matters, most likely, to us.  I would not be surprised if trucks are blanket banned from all these new PLUZs and they only do a limited OHV trail system.

Thanks for the info John.

I would tend to agree with your assessment...the debate seems to be around how/what/where OHV's will be allowed access. 4x4's thus far have been an easy outright ban.

Also, mining/ logging/etc have to reclaim land(at least in theory) went finished. Plus these are seen as necessary activities. Our use is seen as destructive and unnecessary by a tree-huggerish government
