Title: Tell me about Inland Empire Paper access in GMU 124 - Mount Spokane
Post by: Molon5labe on August 12, 2019, 01:34:13 PM: I'm looking online at their access maps, and it seems that the only access to their land is a gate down by quartz mtn off hwy 206. All their other parcels have X's at the access point that says "no public access." Is that one gate really the only access to IEP land?

Post by: Jgarrigus on August 22, 2019, 08:42:22 AM: There are multiple access points for the IEP land in Mt Spokane, one from the west side of the property, and another from the east, with roads going through the enitrety of the property connecting to each side.
