The way the green sticker program for California is setup, those fees are alleged to keep these areas open for OHV's. Your taxes go to keeping the BLM running. The BLM is a steward for the land and now they "need to" charge more fees due to the monies from the taxes being misdirected/heldback from the intended uses.
I wonder where the money is really going. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />

This is my understanding of all this, greatly condensed, and I may be factually wrong about it all! Don't quote me!
