Is it legal?

Is it legal?

My question exactly. It is one thing to knowingly go somewhere you are not supposed to. But it is entirely different to post pictures of it. There are people who monitor forums looking for ammunition to use against us.

The guys that are asking if the area is legal are concerned about the future of this sport and have put in their time & effort to keep the legal trails open. They have a right to be concerned and ask about an area... if it is indeed a place that is closed to travel, then the next step is to educate people on open and closed areas and why you can't just drive anywhere you please.

Driving on routes that are closed to travel are KILLING the fight to save legit trails, I'm not sure how people don't get that?! :-\ If it's open to travel, then great, wheel away! Spread the word about the area and get more support to keep it open!

A Little Confusion!!

We were over in the Toniquint area about 2 miles from the first U-rock Competition area and it is a combination of state and Blm I talked to the Blm and Clarified where we were and he didnt think that was a problem but i am getting more clarification Thanks Steve!

I am not 100% sure on this for everywhere, but in many of the latest RMP's everything is closed unless designated open. In the past it was the other way around. Areas were considered open unless designated closed.

I know for a fact that this area in general is an open area but there is boundaries for Motorized and non Motorized but the non motorized area is just over the cliff and where we were is motorized but i am still waiting for a map to be e-mail from Dave at the BLM office !!

First off who ever said we knew we were not supposed to be there. Second who are you to assume that we go and wheel wherever the heck we want. I don't know the area real well but I was invited to go there from the vp of a local 4x4 club that works closely with the BLM. I put my work in to and do all I can to wheel legally. I am always looking for new places to go and do my best to find out if we can get permission to do so. So please don't accuse me of being a rebel wheeler with out a clue.

Of course they have the right to be concerned and asking a question about it being legal is fine - but it is not necessary to make accusations that we were wheeling illegally!

It did ok. He didn't wheel it a lot because it started to leak oil pritty bad from the front of the oil pan. But it was enuf to find out what we need to change and what we dont.

The way I see it, This is a dying sport. There is no way you guys are going to win this, the track record shows you are loosing it trail by trail area by area, Look at California for the future of were its going. I see every one lining up at Miller sport park to play on the concret rocks.

Only until every one from every walk of life is affected and they all ban together will it be taken back. but I just dont see it happening.

I look at 95% of the people that I personaly interact with every day, They dont have any intrest in what is happening with the BLM or land issues. they are more concered about crime and the 5 oclock trafic jam.

Ok I have said my 2 cents, fire away

Part of the problem right there...'you guys'. Mabey if we had more support from others who wheel, this sport would have a fighting chance. Until then, I'm fighting to keep trails open to the bitter end. No way I'm just going to roll over and accept what the eco-nazi's think is right.
