New Nevada Wilderness areas proposed

[Dirty Dave]

If you enjoy riding in the Pinenut mountains, Sweetwater mountains, and many other desert areas in western Nevada, you had better get on the stick and let the Lyon, Mineral, and Esmarelda county supervisors know how you feel. Hundreds of thousands of acres are proposed for 'wilderness designation' in those counties. This proposal is being fastracked by a group called 'wildnevada.org'. Their last 'public' meeting was held in Gold Field Nv. (population 25, on a good day) on Feb 22 2008. Even the people in Gold Field didn't hear about it. :yell: 'Wild Nevada' wants any activity that includes more than walking off highway to cease. It would be a sad thing indeed if this gets shoved down our throats. You can see the proposed maps on the www.sharetrails.com BRC action alert archived section for February. Please check it out. Although 'Moon Rocks' is not located in the counties under attack, future Valentine Day rides could be in jeporday if 'wildnevada.org' gets up a head of steam.

AS an add to the above post here is a link that will make you ill and/or scare you to death... it is from the same groups that want the property in Nevada closed to riding. It says in their agenda that their plan is to return huge portions of the U.S. and Canada to a 'wild condition with NO human contact'

We think it is bad trying to get past an EIS for our local National forest manager? That nothing compared to these A** H***s plans. Stand up and get invloved boys and girls or pack your toys away. I have been a slacker too but it's a wake-up call for us all. Oh BTW it a United Nations organization that wants all this to happen :yell:
