30 acres of jungle and mud sounds like an ATV blast pslamont - u should do it!
Dakine, I can totally relate to wanting to keep the sanctity of your valley from the aggravation of noisy buzzing motorcycles or ATV's, totally the wrong place for it. The valley looks so peaceful if I lived there I would want to keep it that way also!Ttourism has its place for the benefits of the economy it can bring to places that economically suffer, but at the same time in doing so we give up too much at times to economically gain. In SE Alaska we live in a small island with a single community of around 12,000. During the 5 month tourism season our population base literally DOUBLES in a 4 - 6 hr period daily with 4 - 6 cruise ships in port along with independent travelers by plane or ferry arriving frequently. The first motorhomes of the season start arriving as early as March and the season ends mid to late September. At that point everyone breathes a big sigh of relief at the point of taking our town back! The cruise ships in Hawaii we have been told are 1 per day, 4 times a week. If you can keep the islands economy supported by keeping cruise ship visits minimal, the Aina will be much happier and so will the local folk!
