Old news. It's actually been closed for over 10 years, they've only started enforcing it 3-4 years ago.

True, this is the part i meant to be read:

No one is sure how many Pierson's milkvetch there are. The BLM estimates it will spend $850,000 in 2004 to send employees out into the desert to count milkvetch.

Off-roaders have successfully petitioned for a federal review of the science that led to the Pierson's milkvetch listing as a threatened species five years ago. An answer is expected in May.

$850,000!?!....... That must be some killer weed!:eek:

It's absurd the amount of money the government is willing to spend on protecting a weed, that blew across the border from Mexico,...just a few miles away.

Damn tree huggers are going to far and are on track to ruin the sport of ATVing for everyone.
