Flash Report post Posted April 2, 2012 A reminder from another site that may save a few people some unexpected fines... Just a reminder to everyone that will be visiting the Kaibab National Forest this year for a family camping trip, scouting trip or hunting. Last year they made it illegal to camp more than 30 feet off a roadway (except a few designated camp spots). They also made it illegal to be on many roads that have existed for 50+ years. They aren't even posted closed, you are suppose to stop by the offices and get maps of the roads you are allowed on. By following their rules, if you camp in a trailer, you will have to parallel park it along the roadway to meet the 30' law. Think about the possible dangers of that!!! They will be strickly enforcing it this year (their words), so be prepared for some hefty fines if you get caught. The idea behind this was a national push to restict cross country travel and new road construction. Innocent enough right, well the Kaibab NF just took it too far with their own rules. I encourage you to make your opinions known to your elected officials and wildlife organizations if you think this is obsured and unsafe. Its the only way we will get it changed. Don't think this won't effect you if you spend anytime in units 7W, 8, 9, 10 or 12A. Last weekend, they had a plane and helicopter out along with several law enforcement officers enforcing it. 30' is hardly any space at all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4Falls Report post Posted April 4, 2012 I had posted a similar heads up in the shed hunting topic of this forum. And the FS officers are taking their job very seriously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
