It is one of the most popular OHV areas in the western United States, as evidenced by over 3 million OHV visitor-use days that occur annually at the ISDRA (BLM, 2001).

=$10,800,000
That's TEN MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS of your money, taxed on your off-road use for riding at Glamis.
And that's EVERY YEAR!
Next..
I think a reasonable estimate is 50Gal in Gasoline per round trip to Glamis.
The average trip is 3 days.
3 million OHV Vistor-Use days divided by 3
= 1 million trips to Glamis per year
A very reasonable estimate of 4 people per vehicle going to Glamis
= 250,000 Vehicle-trips
X 50Gal / trip
X 36cents / Gal
= $4,500,000
That's FOUR MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS of YOUR money, taxed on your trips to Glamis.
Mulitply that by the last ten years...
FORTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
Now, in the last ten years have you seen FORTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS spent on the roads going to Glamis?
Who said that Off-Roaders don't have power?
That's OUR money.
I haven't even STARTED on the damn Green Stickers!
