ATV Parking and Staging Area near Central City Cemeteries
by Pam Deck
For many years, use of OHV (Off-Highway Vehicles) has been growing. It’s fun to ride dirt-bikes and ATV’s and explore Central City’s beautiful landscape west of town. But what happens when things get out of control and misused? Ask one of our leading citizens, Deborah Wray. For the past 10 years she has been watching the situation get worse and worse. The conditions became horrific. In the area at the junction of Bald Mountain Road and Upper Apex Road, there was chaos. On any given weekend, you could see campers, vacant vehicles, and abandoned RV’s. Trash was everywhere and illegal things were going on – people shooting guns randomly, using drugs out in the open, and kids running wild and unsupervised. In fact, when a child on an ATV flew over a dirt pile and landed in front of her car on the road, that’s what prompted Deb to find a remedy.
