He was aware of the situation that happened this past Sunday and was willing to hear my side of the story.

Their reasoning for shutting down "any" event such as as ours is that we are "reserving the spot" in the eyes of the Municipal Code. Although it was explained that we are in no way prohibiting anyone from walking through, on, or around the courses we set up, the fact that someone might not be able to sit in a certain location due to our course being set up is a municipla code violation.

I asked about the religious groups that are essentially doing the same thing by setting up EZ Ups and banners for ceremonies, but that fell on deaf ears. I also mentioned that we brought in $300- $400 in parking fees for the day and that too had no affect on him.

He said that the safety hazard involved any motorized vehicle, regardless of size, can cause damage to the rocks and or a person that might be watching or walking through the event. Case in point when Don's shiny new XR10 landed on asshole's leg and that was the end of any rational thought from that guy.

One valid point he did make was the marking of the rocks with chalk, that while easily removable, is an environmental issue due to the rocks being deemed an environmentaly sensitive area. That could be easliy fixed by not marking the courses but that too made no difference.

I literally threw everything I had at him while remaining calm and listening to his reasons why we are not allowed to crawl there anymore. I also included the fact that M.Ferris (insert photo of asshole ranger here), was rude, abusive, not willing to listen to anything we had to say and just a plain dick, but that made no difference either.

I wish that I had better news but at this point, all I can say is that if you decide to crawl at CDM, you are risking a violation and citation of which I do not know what the amount would be. It looks as if we basically have "gotten away with" driving down there for the last few years. They have more man power now to enforce these municipla codes and that is what their doing.

Attached below is a link to the Newport Beach Municipla Code the supervisor cited as to why we are no longer aloud to hold events there. I think you will see as you read the code that it makes no god damn sense at all, but that's government for ya!
Feel free to PM me if you have any further questions and or reply to the thread and I will do the best I can to respond.

It's in a huge creek bed, made up of rock and granulated gravel. Too many lines to choose from and has many challenges as well. Anyone from the high desert wanna check it out? Here are a few shots.

They do take credit/ debit cards but they won't let you park in there without paying.

There is also parking above the site on the street (that is free). Just make sure to carry down with you what you'll need for the comp/ repairs.

We will need some help judging so set yourself up now to volunteer.:arms: This will be a good opportunity for some of the newer members to get a feel for judging while helping out in return. Don't worry, we won't send you off by yourself to judge for the first time. You will be paired up with a more experienced member to walk you through it.

We should have a pretty good turnout, assuming Saturday night parties don't screw up people's plans for getting an early start. :party: We will start driving around 8:30- 8:45 to beat some of the crowds.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. ]]> Orange County RCRC paystin http://socalrcrc.org//threads/3618-Reminder-for-Tomorrow-CDM
