Heads up: the Denver metro area Jeep clubs are attempting to claim that another private mining road is public for their joy rides and other entertainment. The miner that owns it has been experiencing vandalism and closed it to the vandals. Recent article in the Times-Call:
http://www.longmontfyi.com/Local-Story.asp?id=7779 Here is a forum where the off-road clubs are debating whether or not to respect the owner's right to close his property: http://colorado4x4.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=65365 This is happening alot in the front range where new uses are clashing with traditional uses. |

if the man owns the property (as in patented mining claim, w/parcel number, and pays taxes, he has the right to close any roads on his property, PROVIDED he solicits the local county commission for approval and obtains it first.
He may have to build an easement on his property lines to allow access to areas beyond his property. If his deal is just a mining claim on fed land, he has no rights whatsoever to control or close access roads on his claim, nor even to place a cable across the road to protect his equipment (blm code). |
