I'm sure some of you guys know about the land mgt DEIS that is sweeping across California's Nat'l Forests and how we are trying to fight this. Well if you didn't believe us when we said its coming west maybe you will now. Moab has released their DEIS. Might be of interest to those who like to recreate there. -------------- The Moab Draft Resource Management Plan (DRMP) is now available. This document will determine how motorized recreation is managed in Moab for the next 15-20 years. Closures to cross-country travel areas and some existing routes are recommended in most of the alternatives. BRC, USA-ALL, U4WDA, RR4W and others are working on analyses of the DRMP, and more specific information will be available soon. The comment period extends through November 30th. There are also 4 public meetings. Moab on 9/25, Monticello on 9/26, Grand Junction on 9/27 and Salt Lake City on 10/3. It is important that the motorized recreation community makes a strong showing with both comments and attendance at these meetings (full schedule and details available at http://www.usaall.org/moab). Mail comments to: Bureau of Land Management Moab Field Office RMP Comments 82 East Dogwood Moab, UT 84532 435-259-2100 Email comments to: UT_Moab_Comments@blm.gov To view the full DRMP, visit: http://www.blm.gov/ut/st/en/fo/moab/...t_rmp_eia.html For more information, visit: http://www.usaall.org/moab ---------------------------- Just so you guys know what's going on with your forests. Apparently Gunnison had some type of DEIS which comment period already ended. A good place to check for Colorado issues would be here: http://www.cohvco.org/ and here: http://www.sharetrails.org/ Anyhow, I don't live here anymore, nor do I come on this board a lot. Just figured you guys had every right to know what is going on. Might give you guys more of a head start than we got

thefallman

here is an email i got from pirate the other day about all national parks and blm land







Hey, fallman,

As you know, I rarely send emails to all of you. However this is of extreme importance!



U.S. Forest Service Land Use Restrictions Imminent


Did you know that our access to the entire United States Forest from coast to coast is in jeopardy?!?!?!
We are at DEFCON FIVE with the environmentalists and the U.S. Forest Service!



Now is the time to act!!!


I am very proud of the readers of Pirate4x4.com lately. Our Land Use forums have doubled in traffic over the past couple of months due to the outrageousness of what is going on out there. If you haven't been to our Land Use forums lately, I challenge you to take a look. I guarantee you will get pissed off! When I saw the Draft Plan the Forest Service put out for travel management on the Eldorado National Forest (where I happen to live, and where the world famous Rubicon Trail is) that was the last straw for me. I got pissed off and decided to do something about it.

And it isn't just the Eldorado National Forest. Travel management planning is going on in everyone's backyard whether it's Forest Service or BLM. Anti-access extremists are out in force pressing for closures everywhere. Tellico is threatened by an anti-access lawsuit. Moab access is threatened by overzealous BLM planning. Wilderness bills are rampant in Congress. Roadless area management is still being pushed in the courts. Even the little recreation that there is available in our Parks is still under attack. Check out the fight in Yellowstone.

It really is time to put up or shut up. I threw down the challenge last month to donate in the forums, and we were able to raise about $8,000 for BRC. While that is fantastic, I think we can do a lot better. Remember, without folks like the BLUERIBBON COALITION fighting for our rights to use public land, we might as well take up basket weaving. Join the Blue Ribbon Coalition and donate to the BRC Legal Fund. The beauty of BRC is they combine all the user groups into one big fist. I stuck $500 of my own money in the fight and you need to do what you can. If it's $20 or $5000, anything helps!!

While you are at it, get busy with your local club. Local involvement is where BRC does some of its best work. If you don't belong to a club, get off your butt and join one. You really CAN make a difference!

You can join BRC and donate to BRC Legal Fund online at a secure web location, set up just for Pirate4x4 at http://join.sharetrails.org . It only took me just a couple of minutes. If you aren't comfortable with that, then call them at 1-800-BlueRib. If you can't afford to do both, at least join BRC now and donate when you can afford it.

The members of Pirate4x4 can and will make a difference!

I got the same email. I started a thread a while back addressing the issues of donations for our cause on multiple forums.

Sadly there are a lot of people who recreate in public land but don't seem to care it becoming less and less public.
