The J1299 issue has been discussed with high level BLM officials in Washington D.C. and we will see what the WEMO signing brings. The lawyer has been retained and funded. Clearly, several laws were violated according to the attorney who has experience in these matters.
My wife and I did experience some intimidating behavior by Mike Castro while travelling the legal and open public access route JF3/JF4 near the Bowen Ranch several months ago. This behavior has stopped in recent times.
My suggestion to Katrina is get all of your evidence together and challenge the WEMO route designations and closures. You may have to work with others to achieve your goals. The Bowen Ranch is private property and should be respected as such.
