WEMO PASSIVE GROUP USE
FORM 5-2014

Western Mojave Transportation Routes Inventory.

The BLM is in the final stages of preparing the new West Mojave plan. They
are asking for input from cultural resource, paleontological and geological
and biological researchers, as well as hikers, horseback riders, history
tours, nature photographers, solitude seekers and the rock collecting
community to provide data regarding where they like to camp and stage field
trips. The BLM can include these as larger areas where multiple vehicles
will be allowed. The BLM would designate areas that allow up to a 300 ft.
perimeter adjacent to an open route for overnight camping/staging/trailhead
use.
