It would be nice to see Slade in controlled recreational environment. I have rode there all my life and there is opportunity for this. Hopefully the government will see the positives that could come from this.

I planned a trip to white's arch last year with my son. We were going to hike there from the campsite next to the creek. Climb down the side with a box of trash bags and do a good clean up. Spending the night under the arch and hiking out the next morning.

That trip got postponed, maybe we'll make it this year. By the way we just got back from Gaitlenberg and did 47 miles in 3 days. My legs are so worn it was hard to press the gas pedal on the drive home.

Only a couple of small portions are owned privately. Most of actual park is owned by the county. However the park is surrounded buy private property with trails as well. I was just talking to the park manager Brandon Goins about his last week as I am putting together a HUMMER Event there next month.

IF you make the trip this year, let me know and I will drive up(to where I can) and haul the trash out. I know there is an Olds Alero down there but it won't fit in a bag. THat will be a good hike, good luck and thanks for your interest in helping clean up.

Most of the park is owned by a coal company. the county has a long term lease with them.

Regarding whether the land is private or government owned, it is different but I have seen about as many private parks shut down as government owned lands to fourwheeling. Typically the local government enforces or restricts zoning laws that prevents these types of places from staying open.
