Please read this;

I attended the sub-group meeting and don't have a lot to report other than we are getting a machine that is called a "Road Groom" This machine can be pulled behind a regular 1 ton truck and will take the high points off the road along with bringing back in the sand and gravel that has accumulated on the sides of the road into the dunes. The machine is expected to be in service hopefully by January 2016. The road until then will be graded just prior to the Holiday weekends using the usual road grader method.

Also just so everyone knows, I have submitted my resignation from the Dumont Dunes Sub-Group effective immediately. Since I am not going out to the dunes, I felt it was in your best interest to find a duner to fill the position. The position requires that you be a resident of Nevada. To submit a resume and application send it via e-mail to SRazoBLM.Gov.

It has been my pleasure serving on the sub-group and I hope that someone who truly cares about Dumont will put in an application.

Terry
