It's rare when the MAN makes the right decision:

I saw that.

Such great news. I've spent a bit of time in the swell this Oct. It deserves less damage.

w00t!

And on other Swell news, I, with the Wasatch Mountain Club, am surveying all the WSA boundaries in the Swell for illegal motorized vehicle access. There are many of these incursions. Once we find them, in partnership with the BLM, they then attempt to close them down with signage and barriers. The Swell badly needs our help in keeping the few Wilderness-like areas clear of new roads and ATV tracks. This year we finished walking the entire Mexican Mountain WSA. Next spring we start, probably, on Sids Mountain. Join us. It is a great opportunity to back country walk in this beautiful red rock desert. Stay tuned at the WMC web site calendar or PM me for details.

I'm sure many would welcome you posting info here on BCP when you have it too. I don't keep up with WMC but I'm always interested in helping out.

Can I drive my Jeep instead of hike?

Wonderful! It's a relief to see some good news in regard to our wild lands for a change.

Sure you can, right up to the line on one of the several thousand miles of approved dirt roads and trails. Then you can walk mister! I'll even carry you. :twothumbs:
