BLUERIBBON COALITION ACTION ALERT!

Help Preserve Recreation on Lake Lowell

Attention All Idaho Boaters & Recreationist,

Attention fellow recreationists, Senator Crapo needs our support. On August 14, 2010, at 11:00 a.m., a meeting will be held at the Park by the Lower Lake Lowell Dam (Caldwell side dam). Due to the Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) that is being put together for the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge, all recreation must be justified. All boating, waterskiing, swimming, picnicking, etc is under attack. Recently even a local High School was told they could not run across the dam! They were told they could walk but they could not run!

Boaters please bring your boats down and park in the parking lot or on the lake, and come support Senator Crapo's Fight for Recreation.

Please forward this to everyone you know and try to attend!

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact BRC.

Thanks in advance for your support,
Ric Foster
Public Lands Department Manager

Wow really?? You can walk across the dam but you can't run?? This is the same damn we ride and drive across right? So driving is ok and walking is ok but running is bad? I'm confused

I would so be there if I wasn't at work. I don't boat there often, but I hope they have a good turnout.

there's a rally at idaho watersports wed the 18th at 6pm as well with someone from the parks dept.
