Something to consider on the "monument" idea of the Swell. We have quite a few claims out in the Swell loop, so the monument Management has to grandfather in those claims and maintain and provide full access to those sites as it was previous to monument designation. This is the same thing that...

Way late on this one, but I dont think there is a good mix of both worlds. I use a colorado 300 for off and on, but I dont have the need for turn by turn directions. Off road I hook it to a laptop running alltopo and it tracks real time with no delay. Perfect for tracking down old mines on the...

(Feel free to move this if it fits better somewhere else) As many of you know, GRE has been struggling to document and preserve as many mines as possible these past 10 years or so. This year, instead of our annual Spring Safari, GRE has joined up with Expedition Utah, Mojave Underground and...

Nice! So I just heard back about the great support that came in against the WSAs from outside. All is noted and he has a packet on the way from GRE backed by our 1692 members against any sort of wilderness designation. I just wanted to say thanks, and this kind of effort is good, it shows the...

I just got a call about this. Lots of SUWA looking to make new WSAs out of the area. There is a meeting on Weds eve. We might just head down there to see wtf is going on and maybe kick some environazi in the junk. http://www.ecprogress.com/index.php?tier=1&article_id=8136 Also, send an...

Not sure if this is the right place, so moderators.. feel free to move it... It’s taken a while, but it’s up. Ed’s Archives. This is the start of a collection of Images from Mr. Ed Gosling. Ed is scanning these individually and we are setting them up. These images range from 1922 to the...

Paria Road Closure RALLY - UPDATE So there is already a thread on this, but I wanted to bump this a bit so that its importance is understood... Rarely in Utah do you get any officials that are prepared to stand up to the BLM and the State and Federal Governments. Kane County is stepping up...

sometime between the second week of February and last weekend. I didnt see any tracks up there that were really fresh, but that rain and snow wipes things out pretty quick. Tooele Co. Sherriff didnt seem too interested, but said if we found who went up there and got it that he would make an...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey all, So most of you know that GRE, Inc and its members have been actively fighting what the BLM has been doing in many respects, and striving to keep all land open for exploration and use. (This line, just...

So some of you might have seen this, but for those who havent... The ore bucket that has been hanging in Dells canyon for almost 65 years is now gone. Some a$$hole thought that it would look better in their yard then out for the public. The Antiquities Act specifically notes that any item of...

How we missed this until now, I dont know. On the western edge of the remote "West Desert" is a tiny blip on the map called "the Honeycomb Hills". Quite an amazing place actually. A hotbed of geothermal activity as evidenced from the rock. Also we found some very well preserved mining sites...

A study in 4 parts. The DOGM wants to erradicate every Uranium site in the Swell and the roads associated with them. We took a few days to hit all of the major areas from Calf Mesa to Temple Mountain, From the Hidden Splendor to Tomsich Butte, all the way up and around to Black Dragon and Copper...
