Topic: trail closings in moab

[red]

little email i got today about trail closings in moab, up to 3900 miles worth of trails so right the letter please!!!

Alright boys and girls. This is it! The final push. Anyone and everyone
 needs to put a short letter together TODAY!!!!! Even if you never do
 anything else about land use do this one thing, please, please, please.

The new Moab Resource Management Plan will be finalized by next summer.
 Depending on how things go, somewhere between 3300 and 3900 miles of
 EXISTING, DOCUMENTED routes WILL be closed. Keep it closer to 3300 by
 spending a few minutes reading this post.

The public comment period is open until Friday November 30th!

Your comments will determine how many miles and trails are lost.

Here is a ton of information from Utah 4 Wheel Drive Association, Red
 Rock 4 Wheelers, Moab Friends-For-Wheelin', and Blueribbon Coalition:

A high-up anti-OHV rep boasted that we wouldn't even come close to
 matching the number of comments they will submit. They are counting on the
 apathy of 4x4 users to institute these closures in Moab. Don't let them
 win!

Spend 10 minutes to help save a trail!

FAQ:

Q: Why don't you just list the email address to submit comments?
A: Comments need to be substantive! Simple comments like, "please keep
 the roads open" or "I support OHV recreation" are worthless and will be
 discarded. Take a few minutes to read through the information
 provided, and submit your own comments.

Q: Why don't we use an automated "letter writer" online to submit
 comments?
A: Automatically generated comments are worthless! These comments are
 counted as ONE comment even if 10,000 people send in the email. The
 comments need to be personal, unique, and informed.

Q: Isn't this a little late notice?
A: Information about the RMP has been available for months all over the
 Internet, in publications, and on numerous online forums. But it's not
 too late! Submit your comments today!
