Paint Creek

Here's and update from the Cincypaddler Board regarding the takeout:

Ever since the announcement of the rest stop closure was announced, with the
ensuing concerns about access, Mike Rzesutock and I have been talking about what
actions to take to get a handle on the situation and take any necessary action
to ensure the site remains easily usable. In practice, I did 99% of the talking
and Mike handled 99% of the action.

The rest stop property is owned by an attorney, who Mike just spoke to:

He gave us permission to park at the old rest area. He does not own any land
inside the loop; he sold his half several weeks ago.He said as long as we park
on the creek (north) side of the loop we are good. The Ross Cty engineer said
that that is a public road so there's no problem there. However, they are
talking about closing the west end of the loop.

We owe Mike a big thanks for his etraordinary effort (and maybe a nice carbon
paddle). You can accomplish that by spreading the word about the situation.
