Tellico closed forever!
A new decision which reads in part:
"THE DECISION
Based on my review of the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Transportation System and Related Recreation Management Actions for the Upper Tellico OHV System and the Travel Analysis, including the discussion of the alternatives considered, the issues associated with this proposal, the environmental effects analysis, and my personal knowledge of the area, I have decided to select the actions in Alternative C as described for Trails 2 through 12. Alternative C eliminates the OHV System. This alternative was developed to achieve a very low level of risk of sedimentation from the closed trail system. Trails would be either converted for other use or closed and rehabilitated. The area remains completely open for foot travel. I am selecting Alternative C because it best meets the purpose and need for action."
This is sad to hear. This is a place I never made it to and will never see now. I did not get the whole decision so I am unsure if it is all of Tellico to OHV traffic or just parts of it.

www.cs.unca.edu/nfsnc/nepa/tusquitee/tellico.htm <-- for those who want to look at all the info. I'm wondering how many will want to go there if it does not have OHV access 'forever' and how much they will lose with this decision if it isn't amended. Aren't there fees for access passes that helps pay for the upkeep? I've never been there, and am sad to know I probably never will because of this. Dave G
