SF BAY AREA LEGAL VICTORY at Carnegie SVRA


As some of you may already know, the appellate court basically dismissed the lawsuit against Carnegie SVRA because the plaintiffs did not “exhaust administrative remedies.”

All of you who helped with the fight to Save Carnegie should be proud of your involvement because it did make a difference! You should celebrate this victory by hugging your loved ones, family, and yes… even your bike, 4wd, or quad.

The Recreation HQ believes we all owe a deep debt of gratitude to OHMVR leadership, the AG’s office, and the CA Water Board for fighting hard to keep Carnegie open and to prevent anti-OHV groups from interjecting themselves as a 3rd party into inter-agency executive branch decision-making.

Congrats on a job well done! Even though we won this land-use skirmish, The General asks that you remain committed to the fight. OHV Wars is not over yet. There are many battles that remain to be fought on lands both far and near to the SF Bay Area.

Thanks for your service.

  1. The Delaware was crossed, and the people rose to the fight. Again, when OHV steps up in the huge numbers, and states its position strongly - folks do listen. Continue the vigilance, and use the strength of our numbers, within the laws of the land, and change can be made.............

  4. Joel and Kevlar,

    10-4 on Pismo! Also, the battle for Carnegie was a true team effort where a number of folks including Duffin, CORE, OHMVR, Pickett, etc put in a lot of overtime over the Holidays to manage the fight and get folks organized. I just hope we can keep that energy for future battles at Carnegie and elsewhere.
