Deer Canyon trails traffic jam
I would urge those in positions of authority to avoid the temptation to simply close Del Mar Mesa Preserve to avoid damage to the environment. Certainly there must be sufficient expertise available to develop and implement a plan that would allow hikers, bikers, and horses to responsibly use this unique Preserve. It is a very special area and it would be a tragedy to simply close it off to all use. Everyone is going to have to make compromises to assure that this area can be enjoyed while still protecting the environment. And please, let's refrain from playing the blame game on who is responsible for the recent damage. Nobody knows for sure who caused it. Let's work together to eliminate damage in the future and look forward to enjoying the eco-friendly trail system that is to come.— December 10, 2008 5:14 p.m.
