OHV Vandals w/ BLM keys

Last Sunday (28 Nov), three FOJF members doing fence repairs along Juniper Flats Rd. noted that a dirt bike had passed through a ranch access gate locked with a BLM lock. On investigation, it was determined that he was one of three riders who had torn up fragile hillsides inside the gate. The tracks appeared to have been made earlier that same day, and accessed the area across posted private land at Paradise Ranch.

There are bootleg trails in this closed area, but this trio was cutting new trails parallel to previous bootleg trails.

Mike Castro is suspected to have a BLM key, as well as former OHV Volunteers (including Ty Davis).

This is a serious provocation, as whoever is responsible has been given BLM support.
