The BLM announced temporary closures and restrictions yesterday on public lands near the site of the festival, which runs from August 28 to September 5.
The area, about ten miles northeast of Gerlach, NV, is surrounded by HMAs and grazing allotments. The Western Watersheds map shows the arrangement.
Curiously, roundups are set for Twin Peaks and Blue Wing at that time, according to the latest schedule. Buffalo Hills starts today.
