No news is good news
As a bicycle retailer I will say that it is pretty confusing trying to explain to a customer what is required to ride the bike they just bought. Want to check out Yellowwood? No pass required. But if you get into HNF, HNF trail tag required.BCSP? You have to pay a gate fee, AND have a state park ride pass, but only if you're on certain trails. "But that pass work for all IN state parks???" "so I use THAT pass for Yellowwood?" "No, no, that's a state FOREST, not state PARK, no pass needed there." "Oh okay, 'forest,' so the HNF tag works there?" "No, that's NATIONAL forest, not STATE forest..." I think this should be made "easier." I have a friend from out of state but that is in IN frequently for work and makes fun of "us" for this.Or maybe HNF could get some $$ from the park trail passes to produce some sort of color-coded map of the state indicating what is needed where.
It's a great topic/issue for our HMBA Advocacy team to tackle with all the stakeholders. The confusion, cost and complexity certainly doesn't help bicycle tourism now does it?!!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Wait...so what you are saying is that government bureaucrats make things more confusing..? That's a lot for me to take in. May need a minute......
