Sedona Article in the Latest Decline Magazine

[blaklabl]

Sorry if this is old news, saw this in the print copy of Decline at the grocery store last night and then screenshotted it off my iPad, hope it's readable. Relevant to this forum, not trying to start any drama.

I can't read it ...

I couldn't read it either but it's easy to find the IMBA article in the latest issue on the decline website with a modest amount of effort. Well worth it in my opinion, whether you are a Sedona local or a carpetbagger whose home area also contains an extensive system of superior non-system trails that land managers are or soon will be deciding what to do about. Not certain if the IMBA effort got the USFS ball rolling or if the current situation was ineveitable. I'm from the NE and I can see similar developments here.

Thanks for the link.

It seems things are not as dire as some express, and most importantly the IMBA (knew this) is leading the charge.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of things happening for the mtb community in Sedona that are a big step backwards. Hopefully, with decisions being made against mtb'ers, there will be some that come that are in our favor. Otherwise, they'll have gave us an inch and taken a mile in return.

What's the cause of this backward direction?

I find it odd that neither the writer (the sw IMBA rep) or the photographer (president of VVVC), both of whom post in this forum, thought it important enough to post a link to the article?
