The Bureau of Land management is responsible for over 3.6 million acres of public land in Grand and San Juan counties in Utah. A Resource Management Plan (RMP) Is the document that guides the Management and policies of the land it covers. The next RMP will guide decision making in these areas for the next 15 years. By Federal law, the BLM must consider public opinion in the preparation of the RMP. That is where we come in. The Moab meeting was on OCT. 16th. About fifty people attended, but only 5 from the Red Rock 4 wheelers. MOST attendees were strong advocates of either severely restricting or totally eliminating all motorized use on BLM land. We are clearly outnumbered! The good news is that public comments will be taken until Dec 30, 2003. We must make our voices heard if we have any hope of having our wishes and concerns being considered in the final draft of RMP. We need all 4-wheelers to write a few comments of how important continued motorized access is to us all in Moab. You can write or email the BLM office at comments@moabrmp.com. and comments@monticellormp.com.For more info check out www.moabrmp.com or www.monticellormp.comUpper and Lower Helldorado is now closed! See this link ---> www.cruiseroutfitters.com/landuse_helldorado.htmlMoab is the 4 wheeler's capital of the world and if it isn't safe all of our local ORV parks are not safe.

This is BAD!!!!!
We need to do everything in our power to stop the full closing of the area.
This is one of the best premier rock crawling areas in the U.S. and now it is gonna be an ugly fight. I was supposed to go last year and couldnt, hopefully I can go this year before anything major happens.
Everyone needs to get involved from this board whether you ever plan on going to Moab or not!!!!!

That sux!! Get the e-mails going folks, even though we don't live there, our comments can still help! I'm curious as to the details of the sale, the BLM has been known to use some under-handed and in some cases, illegal, selling tactics to keep land in "green" hands if ya know what I mean.

Mine's sent.
Public land needs to be kept open to the public. Off road areas used for rockcrawling sustains very little vegetation and animal life due to it’s very nature. It’s rock! Motor vehicle use on these trails supports the local economy and does not have an adverse effect on the environment. The opponents to open trails use do not back up their arguments with fact.

ok folks. i am feeling violated! for someone who doesnt even know what our sport/hobby is about to say that we cant do it any more is an outrage!
our club will be sending a club letter, as well as individual letters stating how important it is to have places like Moab, and others, for us to have access to.
!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!
It is also our responsibility, as off-road enthusiast, to do what we can NOT to give the enemy any ammunition to use against us. We have to follow the Tread Lightly system as close as we can. BE RESPONSIBLE! I would almost guarentee that these activist are looking at us like we are a bunch of beer drinking idiots who could care less about the environment, and will tear up anything in the name of a "good time". In the 5 years that i have been involved in this sport, this is not what I have been seeing on or off of the trails. While I will not ask anyone outside of our club not to drink while they are wheeling, I will ask for everyone to be responsible if they do. We not only need to make our voices heard, but we need to SHOW that our sport is not what it was 20 years ago.
These are the thoughts of myself as well as the thoughts of Tremors Hardcore 4x4 Club, and we will do what we can to keep our sport alive!
