Reflection/Evaluation
Overall good meeting with some differences of opinions, especially when discussion or rivers comes up. Outfitters want more and private boaters want things the way they are, first come, first served. Rather contentious at times. Meeting was in Maupin which is a huge recreational area for boating and biking. There was also a field trip which having been to Maupin over the years as a boater, the only thing worth visiting was the new BLM facilities which was pretty impressive.
