Letters to the Editor

Thanks for a look at the real world, Wizard.

We have just been painted as "Enviros on the far left" engaged in violently opposing OHV use. This has been supported by the BLM Barstow Field Office who claims that a BLM truck engaged in repairing fences suffered four flat tires, just days before this news item came out.

Local recreationists (such as Wizard) who hike these trails know that BLM Recreational Chief Harold Johnson's representation of nail strips, piano wire and roofing nails on these trails is an outrageous falsity. As far as the four flat tires, BLM trucks are never seen in this area except for social calls to Mike Castro and they have never engaged in fixing fences. The corruption is the Barstow Field Office has never been more apparent.
