[sac-forum] Rules of the road

I really don't think we have to worry about this. It seems to apply to off road travel and a "road" is defined as any paved (be it dirt or sand concrete or blacktop...) through way. The idea is to restrict ATV or any self propelled vehicle from damaging the terrain. And to reduce the emissions of such vehicles as part of the air quality laws. We only use such roads to gain access to observing sites in a simple in and out act (ingress and egress) If necessary we can get the written permission from the BLM for our use of the roads we use. Many think that Hovatter is not a road but it is and the west side has parcels with addresses assigned. (see attached) The only area we are to be included with this ordinance is when we turn off the road to drive to our site. We do so on rubber tires and at a speed as to keep the dust to a minimum. Also take note that this property is owned by the BLM and is is located in La Paz county.
Two other sites are Cherry Rd and Five Mile Meadow and both are on National Forest land. The Cherry site is designated as "Public use" on the map that I gave to Rick. The 5MM is in a meadow that we have a verbal agreement with the ranger as to it's use.
Both Sentinel and Saddle Mtn as well as Vekol are off official roads as recorded by the Maricopa county GIS map. The all Arizona Messier Marathon is on public dirt roads and then a private dirt road that we have permission to use. (Farnsworth Ranch) 

That is my 2cents worth.
I know that Rick would have had a more exotic form of currency.
