                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Needing to start a place with all of my "notes" in one spot. Guess this could be it. If you know of an answer update to this please post it up and I will update this. Goal is to have one of these for each OHV area in our neighborhood. This will be the GPNF one. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Key Recreation Contact: Who is the Malcom and Kathleen of the GPNF?</p>
<p>OHV Specialist: Who is the OHV specialist, do they vary by district?</p>
<p>Current MVUM: <a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/detailfull/giffordpinchot/home/?cid=stelprdb5289777&amp;width=full">https://www.fs.usda.gov/detailfull/giffordpinchot/home/?cid=stelprdb5289777&amp;width=full</a></p>
<p>Current Land Management Plan: <a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5444081.pdf">https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5444081.pdf</a></p>
<p><strong>High-Clearance Routes</strong>: Approximately 2,000 miles of the Forest road system will be managed to e<em>ncourage high-clearance vehicles and discourage highway vehicles</em>.</p>
<p><br /><strong>Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) Trails</strong>: The Forest Trail System designates specific trails for ORV use, providing a variety of opportunities from Semi-Primitive Motorized to Roaded Modified. the objective is to develop loop trail systems and to minimize resource damage and conflicts with other recreationists. Off-trail travel by ORVs will generally not be permitted, except for oversnow machines. <em>The objective for motorized trails will be developed on a mile-for-mile basis during the first decade; i.e., before a mile of trail can be closed to motorized use, a replacement mile must be made available elsewhere on the Forest for motorized use. </em></p>
<p>Approximately 10 miles of motorized trail will be available for ATV use within the first<br />decade. <em>Additionally, during the first decade, two to three areas with six to ten miles each of four-wheel drive routes will be established</em>. Further study is required prior to establishing specific four-wheel drive routes.</p>
<p>I dont know what the name for these areas are yet, so... deal wid it. but I think I found the 2-3 areas they mention in the Management Plan. </p>
<p><strong>Blue Hole</strong>: 127300 Blue Hole, North of HWY 12, la wis wis picnic area.</p>
3
<p><strong>Kalama Horse Camp</strong>? The 8100420 road</p>
4
<p><strong>Adams fork</strong>: N Eastern GP</p>
2
<p> It doesn't look like any provide a loop (at least according to the map) which the management plan called for. The management plan also references reviewing / updating the Travel Management Plan annually, not sure what the process is for that. Perhaps this is just maintenance of the MVUM? Would like to know how that process works. </p>
<p>Hmm... Ok Thats a decent start for a couple hours of google. </p>]]></content:encoded>
