Has anyone been up to Crosby lately? If you have you should have noticed the lack of ATVâs and dirt bike running around. This has made for a much nicer place to camp. There is not as much rebel-rousing and late night partying. It has been great.
The reason for this is because the state has taken it over. The have banned any off road type vehicles and all target shooting. Iâm not kidding it has great camping. Almost deserted.
In talking with a park ranger he suggested that we divers should get organized and lobby for some of the things we would like to see. Number one, Keeping the off-roaders away. Iâm not usually for government intervention of any type. However the groups of A.T.V. users that frequent the Crosby area pretty much make it an area that is unusable for family affairs.I know that the A.T.Vâs have to run somewhere but not through our campsites at all hours of the night whooping and hollering. The Cuyuna Country campground is open and is nice. However it only uhas one dive-site and is not near as nice as having a campsite right nest to the dive site with 6-8 more sites within 10 minutes.
Not to mention it is expensive. They still do not have electric or showers available. However the do have drinking water available.
I also know that The ATV people are already organized and hold a pretty big lobby force. If we are interested we need to get organized and make our wishes known. I would suggest somebody talking to the Brainerd local shop to find out what we can do to help.
Your comments please.
