Proposed Motorized Trail Designation on Public Lands in Lincoln County
For Release: August 5, 2009
Contact: Steve Smith (509) 536-1200
Release No: OR135-FY2009-025
SPOKANE, WA – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Spokane District Office has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA), analyzing the environmental effects of a proposed designation of an off-highway vehicle (OHV) trail in the Lakeview Ranch area near Odessa, Washington.
The EA is available for review and comment on the internet at http://www.blm.gov/or/districts/spokane/plans, or upon request from the Spokane District Office at (509) 536-1200.
BLM is seeking comments on the EA until September 4, 2009.
Comments may be sent to or_spokane_mail@blm.gov or by postal mail at Spokane BLM District Office, 1103 North Fancher Road, Spokane Valley, Washington 99212. ATTN: Lakeview Proposed OHV Route.
Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment ? including your personal identifying information ? may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
The BLM manages more land ? 256 million acres ? than any other Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The Bureau, with a budget of about $1 billion, also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM?s multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.

A Very Dry Snoquera Falls
Yesterday (Saturday, 11.03.07), knowing very well that the falls was already dried up, I made the two mile hike to Snoquera Falls (Trail #1167) near Camp Shepherd off State Route 410 (east of Greenwater, Washington). I wasn’t concerned about the views, I just needed to get some exercise (plus its cheaper than driving around at $3.00 a gallon).
The hike climbed steadily through the forest from the trailhead near Camp Shepherd. No great views of the surrounding country side, mostly old growth forest with some deciduous trees mixed in (note there would be some great fall colors within the forest in late September).

Evans Creek ORV Trail Run (Washington) – 09.20.07
A couple of my coworkers (Adam and James) had been planing a trail run to Evans Creek ORV for a little over week. My wife had plans to volunteer that day so I kept saying no. Finally, Thursday came and Adam needed to use my jigsaw to do a little wheel well trimming on his Jeep. Well my wife's plans for the day changed and she said to go. Sweet.

Washington Cascades Overland Tour 2007 – Final Thoughts
Over the last four days, I completed a 681 mile adventure (not counting the additional 465 miles to get to the starting point and back home again) following an overland route through the Cascade Mountains of Washington state, stretching from the Columbia River near Carson, Washington to Chopaka at the border crossing with British Columbia. From my records, about 63% of the overland route was on forest roads.

Clover Springs Trail Run – 07.14.07
This year was the third year attending the annual PNW4WDA annual jamboree. As in years past, I volunteered to help ARB serve their annual Friday dinner for the event. This is always a lot of fun and a great group of people to work with. They do a great job on putting on the dinner.
