If you get this twice, my apologies. I thought I sent it earlier, but I
didn't see it show up in my inbox like it usually does. Anyway, the news
is so good it's worth reading twice!

> ARIZONA STATE LAND DEPARTMENT REOPENS MOST STATE TRUST LANDS
> TO RECREATIONAL USERS
>
> PHOENIX, ARIZONA The Arizona State Land Department will
> remove the closures of state land affecting holders of
> recreational use permits effective at 5:00 pm on Friday, July
> 19, 2002, with the exception of State lands in Mohave County
> north and east of State Highway 93, and Interstate 40 which
> will remain closed. This closure includes lands on the
> Arizona Strip north of the Grand Canyon.
>
> The closures are no longer necessary due to the recent rain
> and higher relative humidity across the state. However the
> rain has done little to relieve current drought conditions
> and many areas are still dry. Lightning caused fires are
> continuing to occur and there is still a risk of major
> wildfires according to Cliff Pearlberg, State Fire Prevention Officer.
>
> Fire restrictions will continue apply to all State Trust
> Lands in Arizona. They will remain in effect through August
> 31, 2002 or until further notice.

> The restrictions are as follows:
>
> Building, maintaining, or using a fire, campfire, or
> charcoal burning device, except as specifically permitted by
> the State Forester on a case by case basis. Petroleum fueled
> stoves, lanterns, or heating devices are exempt from these
> restrictions.
>
> Using fireworks as defined in ARS § 36-1601.
>
> Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle, building, or
> developed campground.

> These restrictions apply to all permits and leases issued by
> the State Land Department and holders of hunting and fishing licenses.
