Not many people in California know, but all trails are currently being mapped and analized.
In the interum, you are ONLY allowed to park within 50' (that means 25' from CENTER of trail line) of the designated trail.
Many of the "spur" trails that used to lead to AWESOME campsites are now "out of bounds".
Doesn't mean you CANT camp there, just means you cant DRIVE there, or park there.....so imagine a campsite on the lake that is 150' from the trail. If your found with a rig parked next to camp, your in violation.
On the Rubicon, I saw 2 sheriff's on foot patrol. Their sole job is to enforce these rules, along with the rest of the 'assumed' rules that go with camping/wheeling within their assigned boundries.
I also warned many of my TTORA members who had obviously driven more then 25' from the center of trail. I didn't want to come off like an a$$, but I felt that a warning of what COULD happen makes us ALL aware of the rules. Those people thanked me, and moved thier rigs to designated areas. I told them I could care less if they get a ticket, but that ticket reflects upon the group as a whole unit, and thats why I mentioned it in the first place.
I dont know if this forum has a "land use issues" folder, but I HIGHLY recommend one. TTORA does have this folder...and here is a link.

IMO, its folders and posts like these, that make end-users like YOU and ME aware of upcoming/pending issues.
