    logo_USFS_USDAFlagstaff AZ (March 30, 2017) – This spring the Flagstaff Ranger District is opening some recreation sites earlier than usual with limited amenities. 

    Lower Lake Mary Picnic Area is now open Saturdays and Sundays until April 10, when it will open for the entire week.  The picnic area is day use only and gates will be opened at 7:30 a.m. and closed at 5:30 p.m. each weekend day.  During this time there will be limited services; visitors are asked to “Pack It In and Pack It Out” as there will be no trash services, and no fee will be charged.  Full services and 7-days a week access will begin April 10 and a $9 day use fee will be required.

    Ashurst Lake is also open currently, with both Ashurst and Forked Pine campgrounds being available with no services.  Visitors pack out what they brought in and dispose of all human waste properly, as there will be no water available, no trash service, and no restrooms available during this time.  There will be no fee charged until full amenities are available beginning on May 5.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
