Did You Know?.......

An interesting story about Sand Mountain

"Sand Mountain a city unto itself during holiday weekend" (Lahontan Valley News, 6/3/07)
"There are a few constants when spending a busy weekend at Sand Mountain - the continual buzz of ATVs, sand, thousands of visitors, towering rows of white RVs, sand, oceans of whip flags ... and more sand....Amid a small sea of white RVs, four-wheel drive trucks with lifts and countless off-road machines, most license plates read 'California,' though Nevadans had a strong presence." The area is managed by BLM Nevada.

Another story on more riders and less trail

"Shrinking space, more vehicles squeeze off-road recreation"
"At the same time off-highway vehicle ownership in the state has soared, Bakersfield's sprawling development has left local riders few places to use their four-wheeled toys. As a result, nearby public lands owned by the Bureau of Land Management and Sequoia National Forest have been inundated with off-highway vehicles. Motorized recreation is allowed in many of these areas, but the surge in riders has agencies scrambling to designate routes, enforce rules and prevent the spread of trails into ecologically sensitive areas."
More on that issue here.

BLM releases Sierra Proposed Resource Management Plan" (BLM California news release, 6/8/07)
The Bureau of Land Management has released its Sierra Proposed Resource Management Plan and Final Environmental Impact Statement. The plan provides direction and guidance for more than 230,000 acres of public land located primarily in nine central California counties including Amador, Calaveras, El Dorado, Mariposa, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Tuolumne and Yuba counties. But this story does not tell us much. Other than the usual you get what we will give you. It is not too late to comment so read the story and submit your comments by going here.

What they think of us

"Reckless off-roaders called scourge" (Los Angeles Times, 6/29/07)
"A new group of retired land managers and forest rangers said Thursday that reckless off-road vehicle recreation was the No. 1 threat to public lands in the West....Agencies have suffered sharp budget and staff cuts in recent years -- especially in the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service -- making it more difficult to police legal trails and close illegal ones, members said."
