Naturally, this calls for an all-out, all hands on deck Montero (and Chevy Blazer, post-2000 model year) run at Martinez. We may not ever get to go back there again.

I may make a stab at printing the NW part of the map and checking out these trails that are about to be closed. Not just for the experience, but maybe there's some input we could give to BLM about why these particular trails could/should not be closed. Anybody here have experience with the routes that are being proposed? For example, I didn't even know about the two "other" Woodpecker trails, on the west side of the main trail. I only knew about the one we did years ago that's in the Well's Guide, apparently known as "Upper" Woodpecker.

Heck, the map's so detailed, I'll want to make a day or two out of running around in the area just to catch up on what I'd been missing.
