Slade is (NOT) closed to public use
The mayor of Powell County which consists of Slade, Ky announced Tuesday that the area will be closed for public use due to destruction of natural resources.
I'll let you know more when today's paper comes out.

I can't get the paper 'til tomorrow but it's not sounding good. Apparently a fellow from the Cumberland Ranger District was down for a city council meeting Tuesday to meet with the city council. They have found traces of petroleum located 3 miles downstream of the Sand Lick creeks. They think it is from excessive use of ATV/ OHV use and want to stop use immediately before it gets into the Red Riiver.
They are giving the area a three weeks notice to inform the local community by newspaper. It will be gated and trespassers will be prosecuted and largely fined. No other information about re-opening the area has been planned.

GOOD NEWS!! They are allowing electric power wheels in the area, big wheels are limited to paved roads, and sky diving is now permitted in all creeks!!
At least there was some compromise on April 1rst. Sorry for the confusion.

Slade (NOT) closed
It was just a bad joke. Hopefully this will never happen, but I know there are eyes on the area. They outta just stay behind their desks and let it be.
I apologize for the scare.

you don't think any of that would come from the oil they are drilling all around there would you !!!

Thanks, I thought I was going to get black-balled. I'll have one of those beers. The history I know of is that the creeks are the concern. Not the petro but endangering the fish swimming in the dried creekbeds. If you notice, the creeks run underground in many areas and you hardly ever see any fish. I'm actually doing research on this subject. If anyone has any factual material, please forward it to me.
