Here is a sample comment letter:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Travel Management Route Designation Program in the Cleveland National Forest. I am an off-road vehicle enthusiast who enjoys the Corral Canyon OHV area. I have reviewed the three alternatives presented on your website and feel that Alternative 3 has the best balance to suit the needs of recreation and the environment in this area.

Thank you,

<Your name here>

Is there anyone who has read and understood all the proposed changes? Number 3 is the preferred option for the 4WD groups, but it looks like at a glance the option 2 is adding an extra 1.5 miles of "existing, unauthorized trails" which tend to be the smaller single track stuff that better suits us.

The maps are vague about the changes. What does it mean to add 0.02 miles to a route? I'm good with maps but I'm sorry, I need a tutor on this set.

It has been asked that you note our club when you send your letters.

Yet another generic letter,

I would like to take this opportunity to comment on the Cleveland National Forest Travel Management Route Designation Program on behalf of the San Diego Adventure Riders. The San Diego Adventure Riders is an informal group of motorcycle riders who enjoy riding on and off paved roads primarily in San Diego County. The Corral Canyon OHV area is the closest off-road vehicle area to us and it is a place we value highly. So much so that our club has formally adopted a trail within the OHV area. We have looked at the alternatives offered by the Forest regarding travel management and believe that Alternative 3 best suits both the needs of recreation as well as protecting the environment. We look forward to riding the new trails and maintaining the one we have adopted.

Sincerely,

Someone from SDAR
