Trespassing at the Slab

Postby Beep Beep » Wed Mar 10, 2010 12:16 pm

This was sent to me to pass on:
Last weekend there was a work party to fix the fencing at the (400 acre) Slab, since people have been cutting the fence and trespassing/riding on Greg Babcock's property. He is looking at taking legal action so we are trying to take steps to curb the trespassing. This area is on shaky ground (there is no legal access for the public) and since it is our _only_ local spot to winter ride and , so we are concerned.
Please do not trespass on the land around the ORV area. Let's help keep it open for generations.

So, who actually owns the area that's used? I'm guessing the access issue is running in on the canal bank...

VERNON L RANK has the first 160 acres and the rest I was told is BLM. The Yakima Dust Dodgers run the area. Dan Huff is the contact person. He told me the same thing as that post above that was from the WOHVA Political Action board.

You can see the area is surrounded by private land from the maps/info links below.
