2014 Glamis Dunes Land Take Over

To all of us, Toy Hauler owners, off road riders/drivers, as far as I know, this is the first closed ohv area that got reopened.

The way it was done was unity from all types of off roaders, Bikes, atv, SxS, sand cars, all together, united we won.
Its been a good spring for Glamis riders.

    Its clear that our adversary's cares nothing about public use rights:D


    I've spoken to Managing Director of CORVA, Amy Granat about that angle, she has a disability too. I think its a good point to be made because wilderness locks out 90% of the population and 100% of the disabled.
  • For year the OHV coumunty has been way to nice we go to meeting by the hundreds and are elected officials ignore us. We invite everyone to use the trials that are paid for with green sticker funds.
    Our adversary's went after green sticker grants and use it to close down our riding areas and filed millions of dollars worth of law suites. The forestry department just rolls over and does not fight the visitors the less work they have to do!

    -Are focused on THE TRUTH, real science, and the scientists willing to speak it.
    -Are willing to fight the court battles, from beginning to end.

    This isn't the beginning of the end, it is merely the end of the beginning. This is a template for changing the trend that has had junk science and litigious anti-access groups steamrolling lawsuits through the courts.
    I hope the folks fighting these battles all over the country all take notice, take a moment to celebrate, and then put their noses to the grindstones and keep the faith.
    Glamis isn't over, not by a longshot.
    But we won, this battle in the never ending war, and perhaps even more importantly we can now show people that we know how to win...lets keep it up.

    Yes! Make sure to support the "Friends of Oceano Dunes"!! Gotta keep the money flowing in to fight the battle.

    Well done, it will likely serve as a template on how to take back access to the land we have lost access to across the Country.


    Yes it is and that is what we are doing. This was a collaboration of many entities including two wheelers, buggies, etc. With ASA leading the group Ecologic and CMRC were helping push it through and provide funding. As I stated in another thread we DO work together and will be moving forward on re-opening other areas closed due to junk science.

    Due to our "success" in the Johnson Valley fight we are realizing the much work needs to be done at the legislative level, not the grassroots approach we have been using for years (and loosing).
