The links are in an order such that a reader can start at the top and, working their way to the bottom, quickly get up to speed on almost all aspects of the events and issues that lead to unwarranted closure of more than 49,000 acres of the Imperial Sand Dune Recreation Area (ISDRA). Since this page was first written over 4 years ago, some of the links to BLM pages are currently not working. BLM is in the process of revamping their site. We are waiting until that project is complete to find what the new links are. BLM is great about giving us new links as they are created. Some BLM links are working since they are reproduced on this site - others have been updated. Either way, there's more information here to keep even the most avid reader busy. PMV
