That guy on hatton is just a complete jerk and has no right to act the way he does

Hey not to burst your guys bubble but there are 6 landowners that the lower part of hatton goes thru, mine included. We have all signed are petion and got it ok'd for us to close down the lower part of hatton. It is not a green dot road until it hits state land by the power lines. Dnr wdfw have no say on are private land. We will be installing new gates with locks on them this fall/ spring.

Sweet first post!  So you've petitioned to turn a public road into private?

is there a public release about it? I have heard it was a county road unless you guys are dealing with the same thing like happened up south cowiche.

I have heard that gates always get left open and landowners loose cattle sometimes. I however didn't see that much trash in which I always here people are dumping all their trash out there ,

Let me pop some corn.  This is going to be good.

There's got to be an easement of some sort

.    The road might go through your " private land" but I doubt you own the road. There has to be an easement ? Unless your just going to gate it of like the squatter's did up Cowiche Mill Dr.

Someone who lives over there should check with Yakima County and see if they can tell you if the county right of way goes all the way to public land. If anyone would know, it would be the county.

If it's a road that's been used for many years as if it were a public road, even if the county was never granted an official right of way through the private property, then in my opinion it should remain open to the public.

This may require a lawyer to get involved- IF the county won't do their job and not allow the road to be shut down by greedy private landowners.

.   The squatter's on Cowiche Mill rd pull the same s***!

[summertime blues]

Sounds like a fun place to go for a drive

[Slimdog350]

Is it a gravel rd? Paved or chip sealed. I would contact the road manager for the county. They would know about it or the county right of way agent.

We do not have to leave open since there is another access from state land to the state land. It was not me who kicked you guys off this year it's a new guy that us retired and now living in his cabin full time. That lower part of hatton was started by my great grandfather when he was farming it. People just started driving on it with out asking and has been doing so for years. Sorry but we are closing it off. It's not a green dot road until you get up by the power lines. You can access it from the county road cowiche mill. That is a green dot which leads up to the green dot section of hatton. Why do people have to cause a fuss when they can't go on or thru private property? If it was your land I'm sure you would do the same. Be mad all you want but a solid gate along with 2 guys patrolling it will be in place very soon.
