NEWGROUP FORMED TO KEEP OHV/ATV TRAILS OPEN

Quartzsite, Arizona – A new grass roots group has been formedto oppose closing of OHV (Off Highway Vehicle – ATV) trails on BLM administeredpublic land in the Quartzsite, Arizona area.

The new group is SENIOR CITIZENSAGAINST QUARTZSITE TRAIL CLOSURES (SCAQTC). Their webpage address is: http://quartzsitetrails.com

Randie Farish, owner of the Scenic RoadRV Park in Quartzsite, is president of the new group.  He encourages everyone with an interest inQuartzsite, the desert and/or OHV’s to go to the SCAQTC webpage as soon aspossible to find out what they can do to help. The BLM comment period is scheduled to expire on April 5, 2012.

“I’m really concerned about this newBLM La Posa Travel Management Plan” states Farish.  “We’ve recently learned that the BLM hasalready closed a favorite destination in the desert, Dripping Springs.  They have also removed another route overPreacher Pass from their BLM maps. Alternative D of the BLM La Posa Travel Management Plan wouldessentially close the desert”  statesFarish.

Farish estimates that from one/third toone/half of his guests at Scenic Road RV Park use OHV’s to access the desertfor rock hounding, geocaching and gold prospecting, but mainly just to explorethe desert and enjoy it’s beauty. “Almost all of our guests are senior citizens who could never get outinto the desert without their OHV’s” states Farish.

“To close the OHV trails is to closethe desert to almost all the seniors here for the winter.  Many of them have told me they have no reasonto come back to Quartzsite if they can’t use their OHV’s.  That would be devastating for my business”states Farish.

SCAQTC encourages quick action.  The group is requesting that as manyinterested people as possible to download the BLM comment form and submit itbefore April 5th telling the BLM that they want none of the OHVtrails in the Quartzsite area closed. The form can be downloaded from the BLM webpage or from the webpage ofthe Arizona SunRiders ATV Club.  All thisinformation can be found on the SCAQTC webpage http://quartzsitetrails.com
