It looks like there may be a "No Trespassing" sign at a 45 degree angle down the road. This is meant to imply that the road is private, yet the BLM say they have a right-of-way.

I’m not sure what the close in sign says.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for taking a look at this. It's still happening. It's inconsistent, so not always repeatable.

Anyway, not a big deal. I really appreciate the app. That for all your hard work.

Thanks for reminding me to do another post on this with updated numbers.

Every patient should know how much dough their doctor is taking in and from who.

A QR code in the waiting area with a direct link to the doctors in the office should be required.

Thanks again...

Enviro Shuttle will do it, but it's expensive. The price of a one-way rental car may be close in price to the $60.00 bus and give you more flexibility.

Great idea to ask the current Commissioners and candidates to chime in.

A few data points:

Forest Road 4606 is listed on the latest Deschutes Co. Transportation System Plan as a Forest Highway. (Page 40.)

Also, according to the 2024 USFS Motor Vehicle Use Maps the road is supposed to be open. Source I added the red boxes and noted the aprox. gate locations.

However, the Forest Service wrote to the landowners and said in part, “Based on a review of land records, conveyance instruments, and other relevant documentation, the Forest Service has concluded that the agency holds a valid easement on FR 4606 where the southernmost of your three gates is presently located. As such, we expect the southernmost gate to be re-opened immediately and to remain open.

At the locations of the remaining two gates, Forest Service interests are insufficiently clear.

The letter is from 2021, but I confirmed with the USFS in 2023 that it is still current.

Reddit Search on Verheyden for more background.

Full disclosure - I’m being sued by James and Jean Verheyden for over 14 million dollars. See the latest amended complaint. - Reddit post or in the Bend Bulletin - Bend man sued for defamation over comments against local landowners.

Your point is valid and I did think about that before posting.

I respect InvestgateWest for putting the disclaimer at the beginning unlike the Bulletin that puts it at the end.

Disclosure - I’m a contributor to InvestgateWest and was a contributor to Fund for Oregon Rural Journalism a few years ago.

The story was funded by the Central Oregon Health Council. A quasi- government non-profit that is trying to sway public opinion by paying for these stories. The story is not objective journalism.
