Go to this web site and READ the article. For those of you with ADHD ill summarize. The supreme court is hearing a case previously ruled on during the Norton Vs. Southern Utah Wilderness Area case. Basically Gale Norton is "disturbed" by the photos she has seen showing degradation of the natural landscapes by "off road vehicles" This could lead to closures of public lands. Contact your congressman or woman and tell them to vote "NO" on public land closures.

One interesting thing to note when you look at the web page, all of the photos show vast landscapes with tire marks rutted in them, but what else do you notice?........................the landscapes are COMPLETELY BAREN, there is nothing there, not even a tree in sight. This upsets me as the "off Roading" is actually disturbing nothing AND providing income for the state, off of Baren land that cant even hold crops with irrigation. They receive money thru regitrations and fee's payed by us to ride on PUBLIC land, that if they close it, it is no longer"public" is it?
