I’m writing to add my voice to the many others who have written or attended meetings to oppose the DNR’s proposed B2B off road vehicle trail. What makes Cook County special for residents as well as visitors is the incredible environment—Lake Superior, the Gunflint Trail, the BWCAW, and all the lakes, streams and forests that we all love to enjoy. It’s peace, quiet, privacy and beauty.
Most other Minnesota counties would give anything for such gifts of nature. Why would we want to detract from this environment in any way? Cook County is not lacking for machines to ride around in. Rather, this is the place to get out of your machine and smell the flowers.
