I have been skimming this and have already found some answers to our concerns regarding the process...

6. 4-wheel drive routes may be managed as either NFS roads or NFS trails.

The definitions of “road” and “trail” at 36 CFR Pat 212 Sec. 1 clearly indicate that a route wider than 50 inches can be managed as either a road or a trail. The decision on how to manage 4-wheel drive routes is a local decision on how to best meet local management concerns.

Regardless it still needs a number. Thanks for the info, that is something I was looking for. Well done, Scott

Route des in TNF is in a different phase, I know you know that.:D

We had some offline discussions regarding the definition of a trail as it pertains to Fordyce. Fordyce in many places is more that 50 inches wide....yes?

We also discussed the forest restrictions to OHV trails effectively postponing or delaying....maybe....the release of the DEIS, because no one except the FS can be involved in the process at this time due to the current restictions. And everywhere in this doc it shows public involvement as a part of the process.

Appendix Q is especially meaningful...
