Have Laptop, Will Travel

ALL travel management option have ½ mile section of the newest OHV trail using existing Los Burros non-motorized trail. Los Burros is hands down out Best Trail out of the Lakeside District. This OHV trail show as open usable trail now on the current Forest Service map, even though the trail is still in NEPA and unmarked.

.                     Yellow Highliter line = OHV trail       Dashs  - - -  =  TRACKS non-motorized trail

The Forest Service is willing to reroute the affected section, but not until the full NEPA and other approval processes are complete (5 year to ???). This OHV trail should be moved or remain unopened until a separate non-motorized can be built.

OHV trail are marked with orange diamonds, non-motorized trails are marked with identical diamonds but Blue. Having both making on same sign is saying “non-motorized markings don’t

mean Squat”.

This picture is from the Ghost of the Coyote trail. GotC trail was originally 40% single track. Today all of that original single track is gone replaced by quad track. One a quad gets on single track it’s quickly and permanently gone. You can’t put that genie back in the bottle.

Let’s not have any confusion at to what is motorized and what is non-motorized trail!

This has the potential to wipe out a 200 Mile trail system that has taken 20years and countless volunteer hours to build.

Don’t open Los Burros to OHV until new non-motorized trail can be built, or put the OHV trail elsewhere!
