Due to the growth of Raleigh and surrounding areas the availability of safe and convenient access to our natural resources is in decline. Umstead State Park is conveniently located and is used by thousands of people every year. Recently, parking has become prohibited at 2 public entrances. The objective of this group is to reclaim these entrances and to insure that Umstead State Park remains a safe and easily accessible public resource in the future.

Hey Margaret, hope you're well.
I've created a page on my blog about this ongoing access issue at Umstead. If you have a minute, take a look at http://copyandcontentgroup.com/2009/03/02/an-access-debate-at-umsteadan-access-debate-at-umstead/.
I don't think my real concern came across in the editorial. Feel free to send folks who are passionate about it the above link as well. It's certainly worth debate.
Craig, Sorry if you view the response to your editorial as being too direct. Please keep in mind that we had to respect the N & O's 200 word limit to clarify misinformation contained in your lengthy editorial about our position and our efforts. There has been a great deal of misinformation to date about why parking was eliminated at Reedy Creek and Graylyn, what the options are, etc. As you know, misinformation tends to cloud the issues.
We encourage you to read the Access Umstead blog for additional information about what we have learned along the way. We are not investigative reporters but have tried to use the blog to share information with our supporters rather than to provide a forum for further debate and venting.
