Came in late to this thread.  I noticed the complete lack of discussion
about why Feinstein was so anxious about the CDPA.  Are you aware of
the mining company Briggs?  Did you know while Eastern Mojave was under
BLM that company could not mine under BLM land for the lions share of
the largest gold mine in Northern America.  Did you also know
Feinstein's hubby owns a large share of Briggs?  Eastern Mojave was not
about land preservation, it was about mining rights.  Did you notice
how the Eastern Mojave area dropped out of the CDPA for a short time,
but was put right back in?  Wonder if Briggs sent Feinstein a few more
bucks for that one?

Death valley was doing fine before the change from BLM to NP, it just
pissed off the people that liked to hang out in Saline Valley.  Which
is where you'll find the ranger, soaking in the tub, instead of
patrolling his part of the additional 4 million acres.  By the way, he
said the CDPA "reduced" the number of people patrolling the area.

It is still possible to ride motorcycles thoughout the area covered by
the CDPA as long as they are street legal and you stay on the roads.
Since there are many dirt roads all over it's not a problem.

Pull out your BLM maps, it's all there on paper.
