It was a dirty deal. Also, because the public was legaly prohibited from being in the area, the perpetrators Barry Nelson , Tim Read, and their OHV thugs believed there would be no witnesses to the burning of this illegal motorcycle trail through the heart of the ACEC. There are now ruts over 3 feet deep in this "trail" from the recent rains. This issue is far from being a "done deal". But back to the original point in this thread. Why does the BLM seem to not care about a dangerous hazard to the public. The FOJF identfied it and reported to the BLM last December. Funds are available for fencing and a crew of volunteers stand ready to participate. So, why the inaction? Inquiring minds want to know.
