Interesting article in the CORVA newsletter, it seems that a report was done in 1973 by Edward S. Babcock & Sons and Gallaher & Bovey, Geo-Techs in Riverside,Ca. Here is a small,vary small portion of what the report said:
a. " From a geologic viewpoint, the physical effects of the ORV use on the desert are negligible"
b. " The sand dune are essentially in constant motion and vehicle tracks have a life expectancy of only a few days"
c. " Natural processes of wind and water erosion have a more pronounced effect.
d. " From a soils eng. stand point, the poorly sorted sands of the dune area showed the greatest resistance to ORVs"
There's a lot more but my typing finger needs a break, but I thought this was vary interesting, to have such a positive report like this disappear and nobody, ie: BLM, CDDO and the Library of Congress can locate it....Hmmmmm makes you :think
