Prime example of abuse by the NPS in the Saline Valley
is the closure of the Jack Ass Flats road in the north end of the valley.
Prior to the NPS closure of the road it was so hard to find
and so infrequently traveled that if you did not know where to
look you would drive right past. NOW they have bulldozed
large burms of dirt and boulders infront of the road
AND placed the all too common NPS fiberglass sign
infront of the burms telling you that you cannot drive
on this road. The NPS in this case caused far more
destruction than ever would have been caused if it was
just left open.
I also miss the open toilets at the springs.
