Bay Area guys, you can help.

[Robinhood4x4]

Got this email from my former club. The forest service will be having a meeting in the East Bay toward the end of July. The more people who show up the better.



Forest Service Route Designation.....Barrett Lake to close??

Do I have your attention??

Read this:I need your club's help in a BAD WAY.

We are trying to get a Forest Service meeting in the Bay Area to inform
people about the Route Designation Project and what they need to do to
argure for a trail or campsite to remain open. The forest service will only
do this if we have enough people going. I need a head count by Monday. Can
you get a bunch of people to this meeting?

The meeting will be the week of July 23rd during a weeknight, the location
will be somewhere in the East Bay, yet to be determined.

With the ELDO final Draft coming out at the end of the month, it is a very
crucial time. We only have a 45 day window to argue for routes and
campsites, and if we do not have a ton of people doing it, we will lose them
forever.

I know many of you just like to wheel, and rely on others to do the hard work of keeping your trails open for you.

THIS MUST CHANGE!!!! THE EL DORADO NAT'L FOREST IS UNDER FIRE!!!!! READ THE FOLLOWING AND DO SOMETHING, OR DONT COMPLAIN WHEN IT IS ALL GONE. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL!!!!!!

ALL who ride in the Eldorado National Forest – Extremely Urgent

PLEASE make sure you attend at least one of these meetings. It is of EXTREME importance because they will be held AFTER the Draft Environmental Impact Statement is released and DURING the 45 day public comment period.

Time is of the essence!!!! The 45 day period will begin on July 20th and END on September 4th, 2007

PLEASE pass the word on. Post on a your club/community BB’s and any place else you think will be effective.

If you are in a club, ask your entire club to attend at least one of these meetings. We need a VERY large presence at these last 5 meetings.

Please refer to the Land-Use section to become aware of the ways you can help in this FINAL step of the Route Designation Process in the Eldorado National Forest.
