Stage 3 Fire Restrictions for ROCstock!
Posted: May 31, 2017 Filed under: Launch Announcements Leave a commentTo all ROCSTOCK attendees. The BLM has initiated temporary fire restrictions. We launch on BLM managed land and it is manditory that we comply with the rules. We risk the loss of our permit and/or the granting of the new permit in September if folks are not in compliance. We have already been in contact with the Barstow BLM office and they verified that the Lakebed falls within the area of the temporary restrictions and they do apply to us. Please read and understand the directive issed by the BLM.
NO OPEN FIRES ON THE LAKEBED, NOT EVEN IN RAISED PITS OR CONTAINERS.
SMOKING ONLY ALLOWED WITHIN CAMPERS AND RVs.
We are getting clarification of the need to obtain permits for camp stoves.
Thank you all for compling with these restrictions. Please understand that ROC has a good relationship with the BLM and it would be ashame for us to loose our permit over the actions of a few. Remember, these are temporary and will be lifted at the BLMs discretion sometime in the future.
Mike Ostby,
ROC President
