Re: [base570] Anyone?
Yes and No. BCP has never been really properly evaluated. The ABP has requested numerous documents from the NPS over the years. Until recently an NPS blanket prohibition clearly stated that jumping was not an acceptable park use and as such can deny as many permit applications as they like on valid grounds.
We can not jump yet but Now that the ABP has successfully cleared the road (see Jan 2008 newsletter for details) we can move into Phase II of the ABP access plan.
Take a look at the website. You will see our goal is clear; fair access, responsible use.
