Updated desert use bills filed

[budman]

Three U.S. representatives from California introduced a bipartisan bill that would designate or expand six OHV recreation areas in the California desert.

The bill also proposes the creation of the 18,000-acre Alabama Hills National Scenic Area and the designation of 375,500 acres of wilderness in the California Desert.

You know that wilderness means no motos, not even MTBs.

Yeah... that sucks ..perhaps, but more designated area is good.
I am not familiar with the desert area concerned. More protected in Death Valley seems good, but :dunno for sure.

This was a bit of information really. Not a strong endorsement of the bill. I would love to here opinions of others with other good info to help me decide if this is a really good thing or not.
