Tammy Pike opened the workshop with a question… How many of you that watched the Superbowl know why the 49ers lost?
The answer was not about the skill, motivation, or talent of the players, it was because they did not understand the overtime rules.
She told us that until we take the time to read and understood the rules that BLM and Forest Service must follow when considering a Travel Management Plan, we will continue to lose.
For the next 3 hours, she told us about some of the rules contained in Title 43 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
The workshop was attended by 40 leaders from all around Utah and some surrounding states, and the questions were fast paced and the answers came back quickly. The people in the room are some of the best educated people in OHV, and we all felt like we were drinking out of a firehose. The bottom line is that we need to change how we’re playing the game if we really want to win.
At Your Leisure recorded the entire session, and is in the process of editing it into 10-15 minute segments organized by subject, but we will begin developing the new game strategy and relating it to you over the coming weeks. We ask that you stay tuned for the steps ahead, and share them with all your friends to help us keep our public lands open to all responsible users.
