ISL.ANC .;f JOHNNY HORIZON'S GUIDES FOR OUTDOOR TRAVEL I Johnny Horizon is the symbolic outdoorsman whose message to all visitors to the public lands is "This land is your land - keep it clean." The 450 million acres of public lands are for all visitors to enjoy.Because these lands belong to all citizens, each has a responsibil- ity to use them with care and respect and to protect them from littering, vandalism, and other abuse. Johnny Horizon also has some suggestions to offer to make your stay in the West a safe and enjoyable one. Thorough planning is essential for hiking and camp- ing trips.If you depart from main routes, let someone know your approximate schedule.Take a good map, compass, first aid kit, rations, water, and extra clothing. Distances across undeveloped country are often esti- mated "as the crow flies" and may be greater than judged. Inquire at nearby towns for directions when travelling through undeveloped lands. Obey State hunting and fishing regulations; they pro- vide for sportsmen by protecting wildlife populations. Some tracts of public land may be reached only by crossing private lands.Be sure to obtain permission before crossing private property. Such entry is a privilege arid should be respected. Follow the private land owner's code: leave gates and fences as you find them, open or This Land closed. Campfires should be placed where they can be extin- guished easily. Be sure that your fire is out before you is YOUR leave. Vehicles can cause rutting or erosion of the land when travelling off roads. Be careful when cross-country travel is your adventure. Take special care when you travel Land out-of-the-way routes such as log haul roads. Be careful around any wild creatures; their reactions KEEP IT CLEAN! to excitement or interference are unpredictable.

I. Ruins and artifacts on the public land can not be removed for souvenirs. They belong to all citizens and are protected by the Federal Antiquities Act.
