Enclosed is a message from Bill McDonnell about the trail next to his house on Roller Coaster.  We need some more eyes and cameras on this problem.

We contacted the El Paso Sheriff's dept.  We informed them of the problem, but Duane, yesterday the ATV with two teenagers came by at a HIGH rate of speed, and just about 5 minutes later, a group of young walkers came by the opposite direction.  There is no way they could have gotten out of the way of the ATV if they were a few minutes earlier.  This is a very dangerous situation.  Getting it on film, as the deputy said, is rather hard, he also suggested not following them, as it may result in an accident.  The deputy is going to be in this area the next few days and will try to site them.  We are thinking they may work at the Kings Deer Golf Club and this is their means of transportation.  This morning it was 10:15 when one came by at a high rate of speed.  Yesterday, I tried to run out to stop them, but with no success.  John Jones, a resident of Bent Tree, saw them while riding his bike last week and we spoke.  He said they turned in Canterbury, but being on a bike, he could never catch up with the individuals.  I think these incidents should be emailed  to all residents in Bent Tree, as it could lead to a very serious accident, as many use the trail and should be aware of the danger.

I would think calling the sheriff would be in order.   If we can we need to get them on film, either movie or still pictures.   That way the sheriff will have some proof and help in identification.

Since my last  E-mail, the ATV returned Southbound along the walking trail but with both of  the teens that were on it before.
 
Linda called to them but they  ignored her and kept going into Canterbury.
 
We must stop  this.
 
Would a call to the El Paso sheriff's office be of  benefit?
 
Please respond.
 
Thank  You,
 
Bill
