To all that are going to the clean up or planning a trip to the Rubicon soon it is imperative that you are aware of the below stated information. So please be advised the bypass is as we have been alerted has be made and is in effect now. ~Kelly~
IMPORTANT!!!
I need a full-court press from you all to help disseminate information on the Rubicon bypass... after talking with Del, FOTR is fully behind and fully aware of the re-route, and has been involved from the get-go...what we're missing is involvement from the Forest Service in the form of a press release.
This sort of thing can blow up fast and backfire (oh no, they are
closing our trail!), so please help spread the word that FOTR was
involved from planning to execution, and that this is a GOOD RESULT. We do lose access to a chunk of trail, but we gain access to a much better section of trail over slabs and boulders, courtesy of the Rubicon Oversight Committee (Del sits on this committee) pulling the various groups and landowners together. Best of all, IMHO, is that a section of the trail which the Forest Service WOULD NOT recognize as an OHV trail (long political discussion, here, suffice it to say for now that this is NOT a section
recognized as an 'unmaintained county road') will be rerouted, and that the new section of trail should be a slam-dunk for recognition as a formal OHV route... and that's a magical definition for the forest service -- it puts us in an even better position for continued access and really helps with potential FS funding -- and at last, I believe this allows us to get the FD Law Enforcement Officers onto this section of the land, with no
strings attached.

(map still coming - up by noon today 10/16)
If anyone has any questions, please post them here...Getting this information out is especially important since Pirate Cleanup is almost upon us -- we need to make sure everyone who comes up
there knows where the new section of trail is and does not attempt to run the old section of trail, or tear down the bypasses. We're a little behind on communications, so a united front of consistent information will help massively.
Feel free to share this information ANYWHERE, but please let
Kelly/Lance broach it on the Pirate Bulletin Board -- I think that will
be most effective, coming from Webdaddy/mommy -- and have contacted them in advance to make this happen.
Please help spread the word...
