[Offroader1989]

Today, a coalition of off-roaders challenged the decision by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to close 317 miles of off-roading trails near Moab, Utah. If allowed to stand, the closures will affect over 40 routes that have been popular for decades with off-roaders, overlanders, side-by-side users, dirt bikers, and dispersed campers.

The attached map lists some of the most prominent closures.

I live in Utah and I approve the closures. It's about time. There are more than enough places to off-road without ruining every inch of land in that area. Some of these places have had significant damage and should be protected.

The only problem is that this will be just a start. It's never enough to close off some of it. They will not be satisfied until it is all closed to human traffic (of any kind). Cheers!

I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't part of a master plan to cut all recreational fossil fuel usage deemed to be unnecessary: mudders, rock crawlers, sand buggies, pleasure boats, recreational aircraft, etc. I shouldn't be giving Big Brother ideas.
