No flames from here Bill. Agreed: just too many people. I strongly believe that education and enforcement help. Case in point: El Mirage Dry Lake sees multiple uses...land speed races 6x/yr, motorcycles, land sailing, r/c aircraft & model rocketry, full size aircraft, etc. In the 30 years we’ve been going, we watched the land speed race weekends turn into absolute chaos, mostly at night. It was not unusual to see multiple helicopter evacs as yahoos crashed their vehicles in the dark fueled by drinking/driving. Random gunfire, giant pallet fires with their leftover nails...you get the picture. Finally, BLM solved that problem by pipe fencing the area (thus containing the chaos) around the lakebed and, most importantly in my mind, charging a daily entrance fee; $15/day or $30/week. I find that very reasonable but others declared it exorbitant and an infringement on their rights. Result: very calm on race weekends, no more evacs or arrests. Seems those who feel they have the freedom to do whatever they want without the responsibility to honor our communal resources refuse to pay for that privilege. And to that I say amen. Short story made long, I hope that this plan for AH has the same effect because it has turned into a trash dump.
Of course, YMMV. Rant off.
