   Comments: I am from Platte county and these old roads are important for all kinds of people. These are the roads I grew up on and love to visit when I come home. These old roads are the veins of communities for many years. Please keep them open and accessible to the public.

   Comments: As a former resident of the Iowa Center Commuity, and an annual attendee of the family reunion in Lone Tree Canyon, it is in my best interest to not have this road vacated.

   Comments: My earliest memories include picnicking in Lone Tree Canyon, with family & friends & the community. Yearly, we have a family reunion in this canyon. Changing the access to Lone Tree would directly impact me and my friends and my family. I am in favor of making no changes to this county road and am opposed to making it a private road!

    Comments: My family is among the people mentioned that have enjoyed Lone Tree Canyon since I was in grade school at Iowa Center when it was Goshen Co School District #4. I can't imagine that the small amount of traffic is actually a hazard or a liaibility. Let common sense prevail over an attempt to close access to yet another scenic vista.

    Comments: There is no good reason for closing this road and many good ones to keep it open. I urge that Lone Tree Canyon Road (County Rd #183) be left open with open access for all.

    Comments: I traveled that road coming and going to basketball games beginning in 1945. It was a beautiful, though tricky in bad weather, trip each time. A picnic spot for many, too. Lets keep it that way.

    Comments: Please keep the road open. The local community has many good reasons that have been mentioned. I grew up near this canyon and even road horses with my sister there. My grandmother (Phyllis Peterson) and father (Derald Peterson) also enjoyed the canyon. There seems good reasons to keep it open and poor reasons for making it a private road.

    Comments: As a old timer in the area I have lot of memories of the canyon and the road. The best known and most popular site in the area. I feel that if the people (Dowers) living there want the road open than that ends the discussion right there. The party wanting to close it for everyone else knew the road was there when they puchased the land!!!

    Comments: as much use as this road has, it should be kept open to the public. Many people from the surrounding area use this. Hugh Dowers and all their family, the Chugwater community, churches and picnicers. I know I have been going there for sixty-nine years and enjoy the beauty. Also it is the home of Hugh and Rose Dowers. It would be a shame if they had to go unlock the gate to get to town or to have family in their home.

    Comments: Please add my name in opposition to the possible closing of the Lone Tree road. It seems to me that there really is not a good enough reason to close it in light of the fact that the local Dowers' family is receptive to having people go in to the canyon for recreational purposes. In essence, it is a beautiful location that provides enjoyment and various activities, from picnics to hunting Indian artifacts, that it does have a truly utilitarian value. Moreover, it is a "historiic road," built during the Great Depression, that is a part of our county and region's historic past, and which in itself elicits memories of a past when schools, churches and organization had picnics and gatherings in the canyon. On a more personal note, growing up in Chugwater, I well remember traveling through the canyon on basketball trips to the teams/towns in Goshen Hole, and the return trip in our school's small buses that might involve the players helping to push the cars of townspeople up the snowy and slippery hairpin curves back up that canyon. And, we had school picnics in the canyon that were unforgettable. Yes, I realize that there is a great deal of nostalgia associated with that canyon, yet such memorable feelings remain with hundreds of people in Goshen and Platte counties. It would be gratifying I believe to have the county commissioners keep in mind that this canyon and its historic road are a part of our history; and is really "dear to the hearts of many," while at the same time still a means to serve our area's people in respect to enjoyable and recreational choices.

    Comments: I have known the Dowers family for 25+ years. I have had the pleasure of camping and riding horses, what wonderful times! Some things just need to stay the way they are, why change what doesn't need changed, it is such a great experience and adventure to see history as it has always been.

    Comments: The road should stay open. It is unfair for a party to try to muscle their way into more property. They bought the property knowing the easement existed and didn't seem to have a problem until the purchase offer was rejected.
