how is one supposed to GET TO those “stunning lands..without an off road vehicle?? walk fifty miles??
Environmentalists make good compost.
It aint their land to do as they see fit. The land is a trust held under management by the feds for the people. They as well as the USFS and National Park system should be fired and the lands given back to the people-the counties where they lay.
Overturned on appeal for sure. If the administration wants it and appeals it. It strikes me as one of those things that today’s justice depart would just drop without comment.
Yet another example of anti-OHV forces using the courts to try to stop motorized recreation,” said Wayne Allard.
“It’s interesting to note that these anti-OHV groups are also challenging five other land management plans in the courts,” Allard said. “The six plans involve about 11 million acres in Utah, which is almost the same amount of land that the groups would prefer to be designated as Wilderness - and then would be off-limits to OHVs - under legislation in Congress called America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act.
“That legislation was introduced by New Jersey U.S. Rep. Rush Holt in the House of Representatives and Illinois U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin in the Senate, and is opposed by Utah’s congressional delegation,” Allard said. “So it’s clear that anti-OHV groups take overlapping approaches in their attempts to get what they want, hoping to succeed one way or another.”
FedGov banning Americans from American land.

I lived in Richfield for a little while. Everybody had a little 4 wheeler thingy and the kids rode them to school and back
The environment eould endure a little traffic. I think this is about the oil around there
For all the easterners out there, land area in the West is usually described in squares, i.e., square miles. 640 acres per square. A modest ranch might be around 3 squares. This set-aside is equal to about 1.3 Delawares.
FWIW, a couple comments. First, the local governments are somewhat to blame in not claiming these trails as county roads (all it takes is a history of maintenance.) Second, my county, in Colorado, is larger than the state of Connecticut. 15,000 people and it seems crowded.
Elect a constitutional sheriff and use the land. When the BLM and NPS Nazis show up, confront them with your SWAT team and watch the federal fascists run away and hide.
All part of the strategy. Govt attorneys want to lose these cases. They want to prevent people from going there.
