Rock_Hound Posted October 15, 2005 Yes we need people that live in the high desert that ride near or from their home to point out that pressures from shrinking riding areas, more affordable housing in the High Desert and increasing numbers of OHV riders can cause conflicts. We need riding areas to be expanding, not contracting. The recent proposed closure of 27% of Sequoia's single track can be pointed to as BLM's mind set that have home owners and riders on a collision course as riding areas shrink. Since both the desert community population and riders are increasing in number the current desert OHV areas should be expanding.
