The subject of land access is something that greatly concerns me.
When I retire I want to spend time ATVing and Dual Sport motorcycling. I also want to spend most my time boondocking on BLM or Forest Service land.
That being said any closure action I find a tough pill to swallow. So I decided to hunt around for information and thought any local OHV groups might be the best for me to hook my wagon to so here's what I found so far.
American Lands Access Association Outdated Page
Senior Citizens Against Quartszite Trail Closures Looks outdated
Arizona SunRiders ATV Culb Looks outdated as well
Ghost Riders OHV Club Looks outdated.
I sent an email to the Ghost Riders, here was my question
Hello:
I've been looking into the proposed closures associated with the La Posa TMP and ran across your site. I'm wondering if your organization is still active? .....
and here is what they sent back

We are still very active. The club is very supportive of the LaPosa TMP by BLM. If there are particular trails you ride that are not show as open in the preferred alternative, you need to submit your comment to BLM and tell them why you like to ride the particular trails. The maps show a lot of closures that are tracks that are no longer used.
It is important for BLM to finalize the TMP in order to get signs and maps. The quicker this is done the fewer rogue trails will be created.
More than you ask, but hope it helps.
I really have to go with what the local people using the trail systems have to say and my comments to the BLM will be as so.
I'd really like to hear from any of you that might be familiar with any of these groups.
Cee
