The State, County and City want to build a riding park with trails and motocross track on West Mountain. This would be funded by the state and county (our OHV registration). The State and County want this area to be free (no fee to ride).

The BLM open house was last week. There is a lot of opposition with homeowners near the mountain as well as orchard owners. They rallied their troops pretty well for the open house (most opposers there were from areas not even kind of close to the mountain!- they just organized well).

For those of you that have ridden there, you know there is no organization to the riding or anything that goes on up there. The old track is dangerous and there is shooting going on all over. The riding park would not only provide a nice track (maintained, watered, fenced, etc.), nice one-way trails, and a shooting range, but also a cleaner, more organized environment. Why would anyone living near the mountain not want that?

Point is, it is politics. All of us need to send our letters of support to the BLM. We only have to the 13th of this month to do it. Let your friends and family know so they can send letters as well. This would be awesome to see this go through.
