There is a road that runs up through the Grass Valley wilderness area. It's an open route left intact even after the desert closure act of 94. Anyway, someone or "ones" went to a great deal of trouble to camouflage the entrance point from the main route into the area. They used rocks, plant debris, and various pieces of junk to block the turnoff. They also removed the BLM "open route" sign. We ran into a BLM ranger and inquired about the road. His response was that it is an open route, and we were more than welcome to repair the entrance since he did not have the time to do so. We removed the debris, replanted the sign, and used some gas running the trucks over the turnoff. By the way, this is not the first time that we have run into this type unscrupulous activity. It's something to be aware of when you are out doing a little weekend wheeling. I'd suggest you should always check with a ranger before you attempt any repairs just to make sure the law is on your side.
