Northern CA.
The act also makes permanent six existing off-highway vehicle, or OHV, sites covering more than 200,000 acres. The first national network of off-highway vehicle recreation areas includes Dumont Dunes, El Mirage, Rasor, Stoddard Valley, Johnson Valley and Spangler Hills.

Plans call for expanding the boundaries of some of those areas. The Spangler Hills area east of the city of Ridgecrest, about 154 miles north of Los Angeles, for example, will grow by 30,260 acres, or about 49%.

Lots of different places
It does, I'm always wary of "Wilderness" designation because generally that means no OHV's. I'm even more wary of politicians, they inevitably find a way to **** it up o_O

Just wait until they decide that it is foot access only. That's more or less what happens to anything in Colorado that becomes "wilderness". Great, more preserved land that only the physically able can access.

Isn’t there a vote coming up on something real similar to this? Saw it on Terra Crew’s Instagram a little while back
