Thu May 09, 19 12:28 pm Roosevelt Park? |
|
|
Anybody know if the Park at Roosevelt will be maintained this year? I suspect not. I was there a couple of weeks ago. Bathrooms closed, overgrown grass, and no camphost. There were a couple of sanicans and a dumpster, but that was it. Didn't seem like a safe place anymore.
I saw the federal budget proposal from the Whitehouse a while back and it showed huge cuts for any federal land or corps parks (but plenty of $ for mineral and gas exploration). Too bad if Roosevelt is another victim of the cuts. It is rare to have a windy place with grass and shade on the river where you can bring your family and non-kiting/windsurfing friends. It was also a great place for farmworkers to come to and relax/party with their families. |

A budget proposal is not the budget.
Congress approves budget proposals. Congress holds the purse strings. |

Thu May 09, 19 7:49 pm Roosevelt clean up |
|
|
Can we get it there and do an unofficial cleanup? Roosevelt is an awesome kiting spot. Anyone know what hoops we would have to jump through if any? |

This is by far a more worthy project for CGWWA than that beach project near Cascade Locks that is damn near impossible to launch from. I use my tent twice each year: Nitinat Windfest and Roosevelt Memorial Day. _________________ CGKA Member

False alarm about Roosevelt. The grass is cut. Bathroom and shower still closed, but maybe that will be opened soon. |
