HOW
TO
HAVE
YOUR
MIND
BOGGLED
AND
GET
REALLY
TICKED OFF ALL AT THE SAME
TIME. The "Santa Monica Evening
Outlook:' a Southern California daily
distinguished mainly for it's conservative
editorial views and running rape and
murder stories as banner front page
headlines recently had an article
discussing an argumen.t between the
California State Dept. of Parks and
Recreation and the Sierra Club. The
Sierra Club was threatening to sue the
Dept. of Parks, etc. for not acting fast
enough and hard enough on a law which
went into effect on July 15 of this l(ear
prohibiting off-road vehicles in state
parks. (Did you know about that one?)
The focus of this hassle is the 480,000
acre Anza-Borrego State Park near the
Mexican border. No off-road vehicles
are legal there except for entering and
leaVing the place along established
thoroughfares. The Sierra Club wants
the park people to start cracking down
on off-roaders who may be dallying to
play in the dirt a wh ile before egressing
the park as the law requires. Deputy
director of the department, Robert H.
Meyer, is quoted· by the "Evening
Outlook" as saying they will use
"some" of the $200,000 in off-road
vehicle licensing fees the Dept. of Parks
and Recreation has already received to
u
map " and "put up road signs" in the
Anza-Borrego desert. This situation is
well-nigh unbelievable but it is actually
. . happening. The dispute between the
Sierra Club and State Parks people is
like two executioners arguing over
wh ther the death of the condemned
m3n should be postponed or whether he
should be brutally killed immediately
and how much of the cost of the
execution will
be
paid by the
condemned. You', off-road vehicle
owner,

rider,
condemned. Meyer is further quoted as
saying" ...we would never designate part
of the Anza-Borrego as an off-highwilY
vehicle area." Exactly what is that
$200,000 the good law·abid ing citizens
paK!\out going to be used for, then? The
department is now .making a study of
the Anza-Borrego area to determine
which unpaved roads vehicles are to 6e
allowed on and the Sierra Club is galled
at the possible six months' delay.
