Sorry! Got side-tracked....okay, here's what I have:
The permit has been approved - for "UP TO TWELVE vehicles"!!!! But not to worry - I talked with the NPS and have it amended and approved for 15. But we lucked out with our arbitrary cap! Anything over 15 requires "extending the environmental review." What's that mean? More money and much more time.
So all is well - we are permitted with permission for up to 15 vehicles. Whew! Not that it really much matters - I've spent days out there and have NEVER seen a Ranger.
Also, there are two pages of crap, er information and rules, etc., which every participant is supposed to be made aware of and agree to. No way I'm typing two pages of this stuff on here. I'm gonna try posting it as an attached jpeg and see if y'all can read it.
If you take nothing else from this info, know this: DER TORTOISES ARE STRICTLY VERBOTEN!!! Don't touch 'em. Don't play with 'em. Don't run 'em over. Try not to look at them and for God's sake, don't eat 'em, k? Now the Mohave indians had a cool way of placing the tortoise upside down in the campfire and making turtle soup right in the shell. Don't do that.
God am I proud to be American and embarrased by my government all at the same time.
