CNF's second [revised] proposal, February 2007:
http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/cleveland/projects/projects/seasonal-closures/scoping-ltr-0207.pdf

Maps (re-fashioned to look like they've been modified appropriately, but still with excessive 1/2 mile buffers [regardless of species], and still with the Espinosa Off-roaders trail at Corte Madera left unaffected):

Corte Madera Mountain:

Eagle Peak (again, despite the name, no eagles nest on the cliff faces
that climbers actually climb):
http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/cleveland/projects/projects/seasonal-closures/map-eagle.pdf

Rock Mountain:
