Definitely yes! We are all going to be driving off-road vehicles in the future. There are no roads left.

I know that this is the way government works. The whole world could be collapsing in one direction and they are all concentrating on some non-issue item in a totally different direction.

Get real! The lowlands are flooding and the hillsides are all sliding into the creeks, and it’s only going to get worse before spring. We need to all stick to dealing with the emergency at hand. Were is the conversation about what to do for the funding that we are going to need? Were is the outcry?

Every owner of a off road vehicle pays a ohv fee every year( part of registration) .This fee is supposed to be used for the benefit of the off roading community.These funds are there for our county to apply for ( this takes nothing from road repair!).Its troubling the supervisors can’t find a suitable location to spend our ohv funds .This type of spending can improve the future for our county ohv parks /tracks bring in substantial tourism dollars.What we need is a suitable piece of county land For a ohv park ..

Yeah, this grant app sounds like they plan to WASTE every penny. I don’t see anything in there I need. A track and some trails please.

Are there any places left to ride other the Samoa Dunes?

No legal place to ride except Samoa, and those little bumps don’t compare to the dunes north of the old mill toward Mad River Beach! Now those hills were some fun back when scrunching up the sand didn’t hurt anything

You mean back when we were too ignorant to know or care what it hurt.

I am sure that because law enforcement is going to educate OHV users how to comply with the environment that the California legislature will approve the grant. What a worthless raid on OHV funds, but that is what Caulifornia has done for decades. Collecting huge surpluses through increased OHV registration fees and then siphoning them off to support LGBT rights… or something or other.

“In a grant, the federal government more strictly maintains an oversight and monitoring role. In a cooperative agreement, then, federal employees participate more closely in performing the program. When you read “cooperative,” think working “side-by-side.”

Mmmm, no.
