I agree that all who can attend, should. This business of closing our land is getting ridiculous and will never end until we have nowhere to go. Virtually every one of our riding places has been subject to BLM or whomever studies and every time there is one, we lose something. Our most favorite dirt biking area has just come under the gun....again.
The environmentalists are to blame in many of the cases that have directly impacted us. Not only do they have direct involvement in some of the specific 'cases' but they are the ones making all the noise that have resulted in all the stuff the BLM and forest service have to do. I'm talking Sierra Club, Wilderness Society, the Colorado Mountain Club, Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance and others. Patagonia is in there too along with other companies. It doesn't help that every president seems to think they need to designate some new national monuments before their term ends. Every time they do, we lose something.
I'll stop there before getting on a major rant. About all we can do is participate with the hope of slowing things down. And yes, they (BLM) will do what they want, but if we show no resistance, the process will be faster and we'll lose more access.
Good luck and post up the results.
