I don't see anything biased in the article about the county re-signing roads. It just said that they were doing it, and it's a potential conflict with the feds. As for the letter deploring the county's action, it contained the usual frenzied enviro-hyperbole, which makes the good cause of trying to hold back the 'west's curious desire to rape itself' more difficult. I like the fact that the county is asserting itself and maybe putting the brakes on wholesale road closures that are unecessary. I wish to have access to as many dirt roads as possible when I visit the fabulous Utah landscape.
As for OHV's and the 'good they do', you'll have to educate me on that. It's hard to conceive of OHV's doing good to any landscape. unless you consider vehicle tracks, dust and erosion to be improvements.
I think the west is big enough for OHV riders to have nice big play areas that will satisfy without tearing up areas that most people agree should be left intact.
I plan to visit the Factory Buttes area this June and see what the hubbub is about. ' Just my opinion...I could be wrong.'
