We are having a concerned citicen meeting against BLM land closure policies on April 7th at 7pm Grand county court house.
they are looking at closing all trails in Grand County that are not "official jeep safari trails".
Anyone in town at that time needs to please show up.
we can fight this if we just get a tad more voices against the enviros here.
LETTERS NEED TO GO TO:
Grand County Court House
Grand County Council - Attn Rex Tanner
125 East Center st.
Moab UT 84532
rex is the one who is going to start this meeting to hear the peoples voice on BLM land closure policies, namely closing existing trails.
this will probably be met with resistance but if done right could be a short battle that will be won.
I would state that you are concerned that the Moab area is slowly losing its public land accesses that have been used for years to see remote locations of moab, and used to challenge recreationists.
and then the other side of the coin:
the fact that the BLM has represented interests of a select few that know nothing about the loss of recreationalists due to reduced and non-challenging trails.
elaborate on your own if you will..would you want to come to moab to run trails like poison spider all day?
we need to keep all the trails that we have and not be limited to landgrabs that will not allow us to make more. (touch lightly on that one )
we have a meeting on april 7th about this and I will post follow up info then, as well as more info soon.
they have determined that any and all trails that the red rock 4wheelers do not use for jeep safari are not "dedicated" trails and are to be determined illegal..how can they take what ANY organization does as a rule..
