Slick was so proud of what he had done to Utah that he made his big announcement in Arizona.
Look at the grab in the State of Alaska - a couple hundred thousand acres protected from development by the nasty oil companies - you know, those guys who help keep my house warm when we have an occasion foot of ‘global warming’ on the roof.
There’s more than one reason (healthcare) to have states declare their rights over government intervention. O is deliberately taking the land that would give us energy independence - like you can’t drill for oil in a park - give me a break.

Largely unknown is the fact that the Grand Staircase Escalante is administered by the Bureau of Land Management not the National Park Service. To get the job done, an entirely new bureaucracy for recreational projects within BLM was necessary. Unlike the NPS, BLM has no experience at all dealing with the public and recreation.
All that aside, a trip dedicated to the sites of the Grand Staircase, Canyon Lands, Capitol Reef and the Arches is a real teat. Go if you can
All of us have seen this movie before...

A real teat? I don’t need to go all the way out there to see one of them. “;^) ROFL!!
The federal government already owns the majority of the land west of the Mississippi. Given our grave financial situation, we need to sell as much federal holdings as possible rather than grabbing more.
The rule of 65 applies....

Is it possible that OUR land is collateral for our debt to China? Just asking.
You sir, are a treasure. Thank you

Ooooh, I didn't know aboutb that rule. Gotta write it down as I dern sure won't remember ut.
I just appreciate the entertainment of it all!
Seems to me that the best spellers are generally us older folks.
I left an opening for somebody to correct my “us older folks” but it looks like nobody dared or cared to take it. hah
Are you talking about Molly’ Nipple?

Several years ago my wife and I attempted to enter the Grand Staircase Monument. Unfortunately, due to flooding, they only allowed four-wheeled drive vehicles in which left us out. We were in a van. Last October we passed through Capitol Reef but didn’t have time to explore as much as we’d like. We are marking that down for a future complete visit. Practically the whole state of Utah is a national park. Our favorite is Canyonlands. Arches is a close second.
For an added dimension to travel in the Four Corners country, read the Tony Hillerman books and follow the adventures of Lt Joe Leaphorn and Sargent Jim Chee as they solve crimes all over the area.
I especially recommend the “Thief of Time’ and a visit to Chaco canyon then follow Lt Leaphorn up Bluff Utah and stay in his motel the Rendavu MOtel. Then follow him further and take the trip down the san Jaun river and see all the petroglyphs. The trip follows his adventure on the river and the wash coming up out of Chaco.
Also, be sure to buy a copy of the Indian Country Map he uses to solve crimes. It can be ordered fron the SW National Parks store on line. It just makes travel out there more fun
We hope to go back maybe later this year. We can’t get enough of it
