Glamis Case Study
Hey Everyone, I though some of you might be interested in what's
going on in California right now.
News Story http://www.vvdailypress.com/topstory/dp0102200a.html
GlamisOnline - Glamis Website http://www.glamisonline.org/index.asp
Follow links on this site dealing with Dune Closure and the plant
that is at the center of the issue.
Glamis (really called the Imperial Sand Dunes) is a world famous
off-road area that has been used for recreation since the
seventies. To give you an idea of how popular it is, on holiday
weekends there can be up to 400,000 people out in the dunes on
ATV's, motorcycles, sand rails (dune buggies), and many other
things. You have more than likely seen Glamis without knowing it
since "Return of the Jedi" and "Patriot
Games" were both filmed out there.
Environmental groups have been after Glamis for some time because
of it's size and meaning to a lot of off-roaders. Only now do
they bring up this issue of the rare plant, which has survived
there for many years with off-road use going on around it. If you
look at the map of closed areas (glamisonline, dotted red line),
they don't really seem to correspond well with the colored areas
where the plant grows. I think this is just another unfounded act
aimed at restricting off road vehicles.(Marc Obenshain, Fall
