Subject: [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.
