Well said Chris!
 To many people are treating recreational use like small scall mining, the Platte river/Clear Creek areas in the Denver area have been abused as well, and these County's are looking at management issues as well, most County owned land is withdrawn from mineral claim or it falls under the mumbo jumbo laws of no large scall mineral extraction, due to the proximity of City limits or other public use, the areas in the Pouder river/Big Thompson have NF/BLM/Open space/private, making it hard to manage police. As for Cach Creek, the land was givin to BLM, which means there is NO mineral claiming (withdrawn) and doesn't fall under normal land mangement practices, it doesn't fall under the 1872 mining law, but is open to public use/managed as a prospecting recreational area, the closer of motorized use was due to abuse, and safety issues as some are digging holes 10'-15' deep in unstable ground
