I applaud these volunteers and have allot of respect for what they are trying to do . I read that it is going to be costly to get the area surveyed . Come on Central City , This is a very important part of your history , Get it done . Pass an ordinance prohibiting this kind of disrespect and give this area back to the citizens who live there ,and have family buried there . There is trash thrown about , riders relieving themselves behind trees and grave markers and damage caused to the headstones , fences and such . The problem is , the majority of these riders come up from the city areas , They have nothing invested in the area and no connections to it . The sooner this area is closed to these riders , the better . They are causing more and more areas to be closed to not only riders like them selves , but campers , hikers , and people who enjoy the beauty and quiet of the outdoors , but that's not the real issue here .
