Massive DNS server issue

Hey Folks,
I'm really sorry, but the host of CCVA.org is having some massive server issues and despite my best efforts, I'm unable to secure the site for any length of time.

I'm working on it the best I can and hope to have it up ASAP!

Thank you,

Mountain Bikers have your voice heard.

The George Washington National Park and Sherando are looking for your input as it pertains to the trails you ride at/& near Sherando Park.

Please vote in the poll to illustrate mt. bike use at Sherando......
You can vote more than one choice. ...

I'll give the results of this poll to the Forest Service at the plan meeting on Monday, April 19, 2010 (6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.) at Rockbridge County High School, 143 Greenhouse Road, Lexington, VA 24450.

Somehow, mt bike use was missed at Kelly Mountain (aka Sherando), we'll need to get it added back to the doc that's linked below.

Other areas are well represented thanks to the hard work by mt bikers.

Capability and Availability Results begin on page 14 of this document GWNF: Forest Plan pdf
