Hello everyone,

We need your help to save the Rubicon Trail and other surrounding trails.
Can you please take a moment to click on the link below and sign the petition as well as send the letter to the U.S. Forestry Service. It only takes a second and it benefits all of us. We have to stick together to fight the Tree Huggers who are trying to take our trails and public lands away from us!! This letter is put together by the Blue Ribbon Coalition & Friends of the Rubicon, Del & Stacie Albright.

Thanks in advance for your support!
Ron Phillips

Dear friend,

This takes about 30 seconds then you'll have to send a reply confirmation email. It's done this way to keep out spanners.
Here's the link to what we were talking about the other night. This is a petition to keep the public land in the Eldorado National forest open to ALL the public. This site looks to be OHV directed because that it who is ramrodding this fight for everyone, campers, mountain bikers, fishermen, bird watchers, hunters, equestrians and even hard core hikers use these routes to get to there chosen form of recreation. The Eldo has plenty of room for everybody and has huge areas such as the Desolation Wilderness within the forest that allow no mechanized vehicles (not even bicycles) already, so some user groups have a section "just for them" while the rest of us are willing to share our part yet we are being shut out or confined to smaller spaces. They want to close half of the dirt roads in this forest, with litle regard to their importance to the public.

It is important to note that the routes on the map are not to scale. Many of these are 18" wide dirt paths others are about 8' wide. Most cannot be seen from a mere few feet away and the map shows them to look as though they are everywhere. If the lines denoting these routes were to scale this map would have to be literally be the size of a city block.

This is the easy way to be involved if you or anyone you forward this to would like more information I'd be happy to direct them as best I can. Or they can look on the FS site for DEIS Eldorado Forest comment period but they don't make it easy to find. Most users of the forest don't even know this is going on and it will effect anyone who goes to the forest for any reason. Eldorado is first on the chopping block but the other CA Forests and other states will follow, that is why the fight for the Eldorado is so important, these agencies need to remember that they work for the tax paying public and are responsible to us all. Now is the time to tell them.

This way takes about 5 minutes and you can identify specific routes that your family uses.
Here is another link that is easy to make a more personalized comment and send it to the Forest Supervisor, to let him know who you are , what you do in the forest and how this will effect you and your family.

Thanks and please send this to anyone you can think of that enjoys freedom, recreation and our forests.
