The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has released a draft Business Plan for the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area (ISDRA). The Business Plan calls for an increase in the weekly permit fee from $25 to $40 when purchased off-site. On-site weekly permits are proposed to be $70. The annual permit fee is proposed at $180. BLM intends to implement the fee increase on September 1, 2013.

The proposed public review and comment period has been limited to less than 3 weeks ending at 8:00 a.m. on November 5th.

The complete Business Plan is available at:http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/fo/elcentro/recreation/ohvs/isdra/dunesinfo/docs/isdrabp.html

Please go to the Action Center for more information about how to participate in the public comment process. At a minimum we urge you to use the alert system to send an email to the BLM asking for an extension on the comment period.Original author: John

To All Cal 4 Wheel Members, Associates, and Friends:

I want to congratulate our club, Tierra Del Sol on the 50th Anniversary of their Desert Safari. In recognition of their many years of hard work, a new 2012 Jeep has been donated to them by Jeep/Chrysler and local dealers to be raffled off to support their work to keep trails open. Their tickets are $4 each and details are included in the flyer below. I hope everyone will support TDS in this effort by buying tickets and spreading the word. I want to extend Cal 4’s best wishes and support for this fundraiser.
