For those of you who don’t believe me when I tell you that the Preservationist Crowd is out to make all western Public Lands a “Wilderness” and then they will go after all of the public and privately held OHV areas… please, please, MAKE a moment to read the following article: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 East Bay Park District Votes to Continue Effort to Ban OHV Recreation on Tesla Property By Don Amador In one of the most stunning actions that I have ever seen taken by a land management agency, the East Bay Regional Park District Board cast a “here is a poke in your eye” vote to continue their efforts to ban OHV recreation on the Tesla property at Carnegie SVRA. I attended the District board meeting yesterday where they voted to approve the new Master Plan that includes a map of the Tesla property identified as a future acquisition. Even though District staff has said they really don’t want the Tesla property for non-motorized use, they continue to stand – like children - in front of the candy store lusting for the forbidden fruit.
