HAMMERTOWN LANDUSE COMPOUND OPEN

Landuse Compound at KOH

---

KOH LANDUSE COMPOUND TO BE IN FULL SWING

It is official now....the unofficial landuse at KOH, that is, for 2012.

We will have the "landuse compound" in full swing and invite anyone over that wants to campfire chat about landuse, access, freedom and anything related to that....

We're calling it the Landuse Meet & Greet with BRC and Cal4wheel (if anyone from another group shows up we'll include them as well). But it's just camp fire time, after hours, informal, around the RV's and ice chests. 

We'll have folks with us like John Stewart, Woody from IH8MUD.com, Todd Ockert from Cal4 and Access Army/BRC, Mark Cave (Cal4) and others.

We hope to make the "compound" area right near the main entrance to Hammertown. We'll have banners out on the RV's. CB channel 3, and I'll find out what HAM channel as well (before we get there).

OPEN TO ALL.  Please come by and visit about saving trails and keeping our sports alive.

Del & Stacie

OPEN TO ALL. Swing by any evening.

Change is Happening -- by John Stewart

BLUERIBBON COALITION PARTNER NEWS FLASH!
Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber,
CHANGE IS HAPPENING

John Stewart, Natural Resource Consultant for the California Association of 4 Wheel Drive Clubs (http://www.cal4wheel.com/), writes an update in every issue of their magazine. John's latest update is titled "Change Is Happening" and is worthwhile reading.

John's article is right on. Change IS happening, and nowhere more than in Southern California. Travel plans, legislation, new regulations and military base expansion are combining to hurricane force.

John has requested help to complete the route inventory. John is asking for specific items. One item is GPS track log data for all routes used for OHV events. John's project isn't limited to the BLM Desert District, but change is happening there now, so this area should be a priority.

You can contact John via Cal 4 Wheel's website or via phone at 619-390-8747.
You can read John's entire article on the BlueRibbon Public Lands page at www.sharetrails.org/public_lands.
