THE DUNERS CHECKERED FLAG PLEDGE
WE FLY IT AND LIVE BY IT!
TRASH:
WE pack it in and WE pack it out
ENFORCEMENT:
WE live by the rules
WE support law enforcement at the dunes*
WE report major infractions
RESPECT FOR OTHER PEOPLE,
SAFETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT:
WE act in a responsible manner
Why this is so important:
A ranger knocked down at the Glamis sand drags on Thanksgiving
weekend in 1999; it was not good for us. That event drew attention
all the way to Washington. The Sierra Club demanded the dunes be
closed because a reasonable amount of safety could not be
maintained. A non-environmental issue, to be sure, but ammunition
they could use just the same.
A 6-member team was dispatched from Washington to gather facts.
This team included: Walter Johnson - Chief BLM Law Enforcement
Officer, Dennis McLane - Dep. Chief BLM Law Enforcement Officer, Al
Wright - State Director of the BLM. In addition, there was Dave
Widell - District Deputy of the Sate of California Division of
State Parks (green sticker fees). Heavy weight group to say the
least.
For 2 hours they interrogated Jerry Seaver - Chair of the TRT and
President of the ASA. Their big question was that they wanted to be
sure the dune community was behind the law enforcement community.
The only proof Jerry could offer was that a grass roots movement
had just recently sprung up. That movement being the checkered flag
movement. Checkered flags stand for our support of the law
enforcement.
Luckily, when this group took their tour of the dunes, they saw a
few of them. Talk about dumb luck. OK, fast forward to President's
Day weekend when Jerry gets a phone call from Washington regarding
that meeting - it took them that long to finalize their report.
Walt Johnson tells Jerry that he has good news for us - they are
not going to close the dunes. What??? Yes, it came that close
folks. They came down looking to close the dunes. Turns out they
can close the dunes in 24 hours if they have a good enough reason.
Therefore, we need to get as many checkered flags on whips out
there as possible.
