I think EVERYBODY should read this about Florence Junction... www.virtualjeepclub.com/showthread.php?p=127965#post127965One quote from Sandee McCullen. Notice it says NONE of our trails are on the map! "This is going to be short as I've just returned from a Copper Sticker (G&F) public scoping meeting in Tucson which followed the MGCP meeting early this morning in Florence. Before everyone heads out with their GPS units...... We HAVE a complete inventory of 986 miles of trails. We HAVE 3 alternatives identifying trails from an "open access" vision; an environmental vision; and what was called a "tweeners" plan. I HAVE THESE MAPS. What BLM and G&F have done is produce a 4th map that supposedly reflects the roads/trails that ALL THREE ALTERNATIVES "agreed should/could remain open". Francisco has yet to give me the "mileage" of these trails but from looking at the map it looks to be less than 200. NONE of our "trails" are on this map. What BLM now want us to do is produce a "PREFERED ALTERNATIVE" so they can go to the public with 5 alternatives to help them make designations. In the next 45 days starting around the end of the month we will be asked to declare our trails and WHY they should be included. Remember, we already have 2 alternatives developed from the Evaluation Tree that we can work from. My suggestion would be to set up several "meetings" among ourselves and simply review the open and tweener alternative and start listing WHY these trails should stay within the transportation plan".
