I agree with you Mark-I too have never heard of this event-and I've spent allot of years working with groups and doing allot of BLM planning on the High Rock side---but I've been retired now for almost 9 years so maybe new forces have arrived on the scene! May have to think about this and break out my old copies of Wheelers, Nevada's Black Rock Desert and The Black Rock Desert to inspire me.! Ya know the more I think about this I think it may be in response to the drought because the only time you hear about that area is in response to the Burning Man Event and from what I have heard allot of the environmental community around here has always wished their cause (and mine) got more press/tv coverage! So using the drought for that seems highly possible, and the program looks sort of looks a bit environmental.
Hmmmm, Mark not sure if I'm ready to get involved in that stuff again -need to think! [commercial break] Looking closer at the events/ speakers it looks like what we use to call in the old days a call for help/input from the public- to make future management plans, one of those events we keep telling everyone who cares about using and not abusing our public lands-no matter what side you are on-should attend because this is an opportunity to add your 2 cents worth where it may do some good! As I and others here have said before-I don't know how many public input planning meetings we have advertised that no one except the very few same user groups showed up-and get a say-show up, it's your public lands too-if nothing else it sounds like a fun time[end message]!
