Off Road Trail & Land issues

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"Off-roaders, environmentalists vie for canyon near Death Valley" (Associated Press at Palm Springs Desert Sun, 12/18/06)
"Whoever named Surprise Canyon got it right. Mere miles from bone-dry Death Valley, the canyon cradles two unexpected jewels: a gushing mountain stream and what's left of a once-bustling silver mining town. These treasures [are] at the heart of a legal battle between off-road drivers and environmentalists....Five years ago environmentalists successfully sued to get the narrow canyon and its spring-fed waterfalls closed to vehicles, arguing that the federal Bureau of Land Management was not carrying out its duty to protect the land."

I saw this article in the Daily News the day it came out. Went over it with my wife. Interestingly enough, although it had some bias, I thought it had a little less bias than most, which is unusual in today's media.

How did you find the petition link?

BTW, I signed it.
