I think PCSC should attend this meeting regarding the closing of BLM roads.  2200 miles of roads being closed.

“Those who have followed this page for a while will remember the West Mojave Travel Management Plan. Years and a lot of work by both the BLM and stakeholders went into that plan. While we lost some roads, overall rockhounds did okay when the plan was finalized, gaining more open routes in the Cadys. However, extreme environmental groups were not happy that their first lawsuit resulted in more roads being open, so they sued AGAIN.  A federal judge recently ruled that 2,200 miles of roads be closed as of next month.  I’m glad the BLM fought the lawsuit and hope they choose to appeal. 

Join me at this online meeting to learn more about the ruling and what roads will be closed. 

Friends of Jawbone’s ( https://www.jawbone.org/ )  next monthly stakeholder meeting will discuss the OHV route closures recently ordered by a federal court judge.

The meeting, which is open to the public, will be held on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, from 9:00-11:00AM at the Jawbone Station Visitor Center, and available online via Zoom.

At the meeting, FOJ will present maps and information to bring attendees up to speed on the court order. We’ll provide a limited number of tables and chairs for those wanting to take notes.

This may be the only local public meeting on this topic before the closure takes effect.
