More info from Bob! (from LA Rocks)
For those interested in viewing the details of the proposed 658 square mile land acquisition by the Marines, go to www.29palms.usmc.mil/las or just go to www.29palms.usmc.mil and click on "land acquisition study."
To comment by mail:
MAGTFTC, MCAGCC
Attn: Land Acquisition Program,
Box 788104, Building 1554, Room 138,
Twentynine Palms, CA 92278-8104
Public meetings are scheduled this week; Wednesday, at 29 Palms; Thursday at Victorville; and Friday at Ontario. Most off-roaders and environmentalists are opposed. Rockhounds should weigh in an opinion as well. I have encouraged our local club to form a public relations committee to provide information to club members and the community about issues affecting our hobby, most importantly, land closures. I am interested in what other clubs are doing.
Thank you, Tim
