RR cop is there today taking photos of people crossing tracks, cars parked, etc. He told a friend of mine that they will be putting up No Trespassing signs in a week or two and doing patrols 2-3 times (per week or day.. didn't get the exact wording) and handing out $100 fines. Is there any recourse? My understanding is that it can be legal as long as there is a crossing gate, similar to what's at Doug's. How did windsurfers get this gate installed? tinyE Since 21 Jan 2006 2004 Posts not really an XTreme Poster Fri Jul 18, 08 12:41 pm     there already is a no trespassing sign there... you don't have to cross the tracks...just go under the bridge. jonah Since 20 Jul 2006 169 Posts Hood River Stoked Fri Jul 18, 08 1:03 pm     I've walked the trail that leads to the RR bridge over the Klickitat. At that point, it's a 20ft vertical drop to deep water. I didn't see any way to walk down to water level, or any crossable land underneath that bridge. Maybe you're referring to another spot? Have you done this before? Maybe I've only seen it at high water. kyle.vh Since 11 Jul 2007 713 Posts city of angels Addicted Fri Jul 18, 08 4:01 pm     man, this sucks. what does the CGKA have to say about this situation? just curious. it would be awful to have access here restricted. lance_k Since 04 May 2005 565 Posts Hood River Photographer Fri Jul 18, 08 8:29 pm     um i think its time we need to revolt _________________ www.lancekoudele.com daveS Since 23 Jul 2007 104 Posts Stoked Sat Jul 19, 08 7:40 am     Bummer.....I say it's time to hit Rowena as already stated last week. Yeah...it's not perfect. Gusty and rocky launch but very doable for competent riders especially if there are other kiters there to help out. I kited there alone Wednesday. Check it out.
