Sent by a NGMC member:
Reporting from Washington - In the largest expansion of wilderness protection in 15 years, Congress today sent President Obama legislation that would conserve a wide swath of the West, including stretches of California from the desert to the Sierra.
The lands bill, which passed the House 285 to 140, is expected to be signed by the president this year. It would give the highest level of federal protection to more than 2 million acres in nine states -- prohibiting new roads, the use of motorized or mechanized vehicles, most commercial activities, logging, new structures, new mining claims and new grazing. That is almost as much land as was designated for protection during George W.
Bush's entire presidency.
In California*, *which currently has 14 million acres of wilderness (second only to Alaska, which has more than 57 million acres), the bill would protect 700,000-plus acres. The measure also would authorize $88 million to fund restoration efforts on the San Joaquin River and provide $61 million toward cleanup of polluted groundwater in the San Gabriel Valley area.
The legislation, which cleared the Senate last week, is an amalgam of about 160 bills. They call for things such as designating President Clinton's boyhood home in Hope, Ark., a national historic site, increasing protection of Oregon's Mount Hood, and creating a commission to plan for the 450th anniversary of the founding of St. Augustine, Fla.
Rep. Nick Rahall (D-W.Va.), chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, said at a Capitol news conference after the vote that the bill is the "most important piece of conservation legislation Congress has considered in many years."
California land that would be designated as wilderness includes about 40,000 acres in the San Gabriel Mountains in Los Angeles County. The bill would create the Magic Mountain Wilderness -- named after a mountain northeast of Santa Clarita, not the Six Flags amusement park -- and the Pleasant View Ridge Wilderness, west of Angeles Crest Highway.
Also designated as wilderness would be about 428,000 acres in the Eastern Sierra, about 147,000 acres in Riverside County -- including parts of Joshua Tree National Park -- and about 85,000 acres in Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Park.
The legislation also would strengthen protections of scenic rivers, including eight in California that stretch from the upper Owens River in the eastern Sierra to Piru Creek in Los Angeles County. The bill also would add about 8,400 acres to the 272,000-acre Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument near Palm Springs, and order a study on whether the World War II Japanese American internment camp at Tule Lake should be added to the national park system.
"We're ecstatic," said Sam Goldman, California wilderness coordinator at the Wilderness Society.
The bill brought together members of opposing parties who were eager to trumpet their conservation efforts and water projects.
Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon (R-Santa Clarita), a conservative who worked with liberal Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) to push for the wilderness designation in the Eastern Sierra and San Gabriel Mountains, alluded to the unusual position he finds himself in.
"We have some people who used to be my friends who are not happy with me, and we have some people who used to hate me who now think I'm great," he said. Displaying pictures of mountains and rivers in his district, he added, "Places like this are treasures that we should try to preserve."
But it drew opposition from a number of congressional Republicans and business and property-rights groups, who attacked it as a land grab that would close off public land to energy production.
"Are our memories so short that we have forgotten the energy crisis of just last summer?" said Rep. Doc Hastings of Washington, the top Republican on the House Natural Resources Committee.
The San Joaquin River settlement, hailed as a landmark by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), divided Central Valley Republicans.
Contending the settlement would hurt farmers, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Tulare) sarcastically suggested, "If this Congress isn't capable of delivering water to people, perhaps we can ask the United Nations for help. Maybe they would be willing to deliver water, distribute humanitarian aid and rebuild the San Joaquin Valley."
Rep. George Radanovich (R-Mariposa), however, said the settlement would resolve a years-long legal battle that threatened the water supply for farmers and "gives the agricultural community some control over their water future."
The new wilderness designations will be the latest additions to the 107-million acre National Wilderness Preservation System, created when President Johnson signed the Wilderness Act in 1964.
The measure's passage today has emboldened environmentalists to push for even more wilderness designation.
Boxer is working to protect another 1.4 million acres of wilderness in California, including areas in the Angeles, Klamath, Lassen and Los Padres national forests.

Ludlow Trip information
Friday’s group arrived and by noon there were 3 vehicles carrying 2 dogs and 5 people on their way to new sites awaiting discovery. We picked up some agate material and proceeded to one of the many jasper locations before returning to the gravel pit, our campsite. At our campsite everyone had a GREAT visit before retiring early.
Saturday we were joined by three more vehicles carrying 4 members, 1 guest and 1 more dog. Our first stop was to be the Chase-Bagdad Mine area for copper minerals. We were stopped by what appeared to be a new gate just after passing the two gas pipelines. This was well before the Monument marking the Ragtown Area.
We returned to the Ludlow where everyone got a small snack before continuing. We went to another area where everyone was able to obtain some more agate and what had the appearance of a type of sandstone. I heard Jim Peterson say “WOW” upon picking up some material here. Afterwards we went to another location where more jasper was obtained.
Those who were out for the day were taken to the Ruby Zoisite before returning home.
For those that returned to the Gravel Pit, we discovered a San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Deputy had stopped in to visit. Although we were not there, s/he left us their business card telling us to property owner did not want us there and to please go. We were all somewhat surprised, as the property is not posted. Not wanting to create any grief for the Deputy we decided to pack up and leave. With the promise of 50 MPH winds on Sunday, everyone went home.
I spoke with a friend of mine who happens to be a SBSO Deputy; he was surprised that anyone would tell us to move on. He thought it was on BLM land. I will try to contact the Deputy who left the note to verify who owns the property.

Sunday
First, I deeply apologize to some members of the group. It was brought to my attention this morning that one member had not been receiving emails. In checking further, I realized quite a few names had "dropped" off my NGMC email mailing list. I'm sorry and I hope it doesn't happen again. I will do my best that it doesn't. Please just keep checking the Blog for updates. Sally

Planet Ranch Field trip
Photos and narrative courtesy of Bob Ferguson! And thanks to the field trip leader Linda!
We left McDonalds after trying the Apple Pie with coffee for breakfast. On the way to the Planet Mine, Linda showed us one of the wash’s up close, not someplace to be caught in a down pour. We then stopped below Planet Ranch Mine where samples were obtained by all with Bob scampering up the hill.
Linda then led us to another site just east of the Planet Ranch gate which had a lot of hematite with chrysocolla and malachite in it. From there we drove to a wash west of the Planet Ranch mine, where the Ferguson’s newest yard rock was acquired, after which all us hungry hounds had lunch.
After lunch Linda led us to the Historic Preservation Site of Swansea where we took in the sites before returning to civilization, or at least paved roads!

Just more information you might want to know!
Starting in 2007, daylight time begins in the United States on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. On the second Sunday in March, clocks are set ahead one hour at 2:00 a.m. local standard time, which becomes 3:00 a.m. local daylight time. On the first Sunday in November, clocks are set back one hour at 2:00 a.m. local daylight time, which becomes 1:00 a.m. local standard time. These dates were established by Congress in the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Pub. L. no. 109-58, 119 Stat 594 (2005).
Not all places in the U.S. observe daylight time. In particular, Hawaii and most of Arizona do not use it. Indiana adopted its use beginning in 2006.In 2009, daylight time begins on March 8 and ends on November 1.
Many other countries observe some form of "summer time", but they do not necessarily change their clocks on the same dates as the U.S. Daylight time and time zones in the U.S. are defined in the U.S. Code, Title 15, Chapter 6, Subchapter IX - Standard Time.
