Closure of Moab and Other Public Lands in H.R. 1925 'Unreasonable', 'Unacceptable'
Last week when I posted HR 1925: The Newest Federal Land Grab to Snatch Up 9 Million More Acres, I was not aware that world famous Moab OHV area was included in the list of closures.
Moab is one of the most well known OHV areas in the United States. It has been marketed as a recreational area for over a century and the thought of it being closed is almost unreal, kind of like I fell into a cartoon.
The Vice President for Government Relations of the American Motorcycle Association (AMA) Ed Moreland said "the measure is totally unreasonable and completely unacceptable" partly because there are ZERO representatives from Utah is supporting it. The bill is being pushed through by a New York congressman.
There's still time to call your representatives and let them know you're strictly against Congressmen from New York trying to close highly popular recreation areas several states away.

This is very sad and it makes me ashamed to be a New Yorker.
mpyusko, you have nothing to be ashamed about. We live in a time when politicians feel they can do what ever they want and don’t have to worry about what their constituents think. It’s a sad state of affairs
So, did they vote on this yet? We are waiting to know over at yotatech.
I believe they’re voting on it today. I’ll post here when I find out.
This really s–ks, these People should get out from behind there desk,fly out there jump on a ATV or in a jeep and take a tour of what there closeing down, I’d bet they’d change there pencil pushin minds
They are trying to all ways take away our rite to bare arms now this the rite to ride our atvs on these lands what next, they yell in florida where i live about all the people trying to ride atv,s down the sides of hwys well if we all had some wheres to ride maybe they would not try an ride atvs all over florida if they had more places to ride i live in a rural area in north central fl anatvs are a way to go but with all thekids racing them up an down the main roads its fixing to get harder to ride atvs any where, i ride mine for im limited to walking from a roll over in my 4×4 pick up truck a drunk hit me an im now limited to what i can an cant do an riding my atv helps me get around easier than trying to walk , i cant do that any distance they goverment needs not to take over 9million acres an leave it where we can ride atvs, but that wont happen i bet,
Utah is the most atv friendly state I have ever been in. I live in Georgia and have been there the last 7 years to ride atv’s and I firmly believe there is no better place to ride.
