A good friend of mine is working very hard through the Responsible Recreation Foundation's to keep open and maybe even expand our access to trails in Colorado please read the letter below and send an email to BLM_CO_GJ_Public_Comments@blm.gov the email needs to be in by 12/22/12.
Thanks

Merry Christmas & happy trails
We need comments into the Grand Junction Field Office to support building the new OHV trails (two 4WD trails, ATV trails and dirt bike trails ) and support the Responsible Recreation Foundation's proposed plan for these trails. This is the same area that you were on JK Experience in CO.
The non motorized groups are canvasing the office with letter campaigns to stop the plan. While your team was on the trail last year with JK Experience they met a local group that was GPSing the canyons now proposed in the plan and was told about how amazing some of these areas and trails could be, and they will be with your help. Please share this with your fans.
Letters with comments must be received by this SATURDAY 12/22/12. Email your letter to
BLM_CO_GJ_Public_Comments@blm.gov
The full environmental assessment can be found here:

Points to cover in your email that are critical that also give you grounds to comment at a future date if the EA is not approved:
1. The area has already been designated for this type of use.
2. The existing Jeep Trail, Billings Canyon, has been a very positive addition to the trail system, and even with its popularity, through volunteers, it is still a very clean, and well maintained trail.
3. Full size 4x4 trails support the local and national economy, through the purchase of equipment, vehicles, and upgrades.
4. Impact is very low for the 4x4 trails, as we are talking about less than 3 miles of new trails on this project.
5. Each of the new trails offers a unique experience, unlike any other trail. Each of the new trails require different levels of expertise in trail use.
6. Cost to the public will be minimal, as most of the trail will be built and maintained by clubs, and other organizations.
7. There have been no significant disturbances to any part of the environment, or cultural resources discovered during the planning of these trails.
8. The proposed trails facilitate hunting access via OHV to areas not accessible by OHV in the past.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ANYONE SUPPORTING OHV TRAILS OR HUNTING ACCESS.
