[Fellow Off-Roader]

while this spoof shows part of the Club's political stand, their stance on RS2477 is even worse:

"Across the West, state and local governments are exploiting a loophole in a vague, long-repealed road statute to lay claim to thousands of miles throughout our public lands. This loophole allows special interests the opportunity to criss-cross America's National Parks, Wildlife Refuges, National Monuments, Wilderness Areas, and other special places with roads and development. The Sierra Club belongs to a coalition of groups that are working on ways to close this loophole.

BACKGROUND
The loophole called Revised Statute 2477 --RS 2477"


Without this revise statute there would be MANY trails closed in the Moab area. Because businesses there recognize the benefit of outdoor recreation including off-roading, the local county has used 2477 to keep the trails open. we traveled on one of these trails and the landscape was just incredible. just another example of a few trying to impact a person's freedom.
