Some of the names of the people that are working for us to keep the desert open...

 

The act was co-sponsored by Sens. Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), and Reps. Paul Cook (R-Yucca Valley), Juan Vargas (D-San Diego), Raul Ruiz (D-Palm Desert) and Pete Aguilar (D-Redlands) and is the result of years of often contentious negotiations among elected officials, environmental organizations, business owners, veterans, faith leaders, historians, off-highway and RV organizations, rock hounds and tribal leaders.

Feinstein took up the desert cause immediately after she joined the Senate in 1992. It was a time when critics said the Bureau of Land Management had, in many ways, failed to plan a balanced and sustainable future for more than 12 million acres of desert.

Amazing to get this level of cooperation and balance within government, especially when land use is the issue. I'm surprised in the change in Feinstein over the years. She used to be so completely anti-access back when she started in the Senate 124 years ago.

Another article that explains it pretty well: http://www.americanmotorcyclist.com/Home/AMA-News-And-Press-Releases/updated-desert-use-bills-filed

Does anyone know where this is? --- Establish the Vinagre Wash Special Management Area to protect 81,000 acres of public land in Imperial County, while preserving motorized recreation along designated routes

Is there a map? I couldn't find it. Just wondering where it is geographically in Imperial County.
