2006 Pre-Closure Ride - Don Amador (L) and Ed Tobin (R)
The Recreation HQ wants to thank all those in the
extended OHV family who have worked tirelessly over the last 7 years to reopen
Clear Creek after it was closed in May 2008.
I won’t mention any of you by name because you know who you are.
HQ believes this hearing on May 20, 2014 moves HR 1776
one giant step closer to becoming a reality.
BRC Alert with Link to House Subcommittee Website (with

Many of you have asked if there is a way for you to
express your support of HR 1776 to the subcommittee? One simple way is for you to show your
support for the bill is to send a short letter (on personal or business
letterhead) to:
Rob Bishop, Chairman
House Subcommittee on Public Lands and Environmental
Regulation
1324 Longworth Building
Washington, DC 20515
Attn: Otto Mucklo
Email: otto.mucklo@mail.house.gov
Link to National OHV Group Support Letter to Congressman
Sam Farr on HR 1776
Here is the witness list for HR 1776 from a E&E article
today.
Congressman Sam Farr (D-Calif.)
Former Sen. Wayne Allard (R-Colo.) -VP, American
Motorcycle Association
Steve Koretoff of Kerman, Calif. – Spokesman for Friends
of the Clear Creek Management Area
Here is a quote from the E&E article:
"This bill brings environmentalist and off-road
vehicle enthusiasts together in the common goals of reopening Clear Creek for
the public to enjoy and creating new wilderness land for future generations to
enjoy," Farr said in a statement when the bill was introduced last year.
"This partnership between the two groups will allow us to achieve two
victories to benefit to the local communities."
HQ hopes passage of this bill will help reestablish the good will and partnership that once existed between the OHV community and the Hollister Field Office. Let's move forward.
Again, HQ thanks each and every one of you who helped get
us to this point.
