I had a friend who was die hard about his recreational pursuits with motorized vehicles in the wilderness. "Respect other people's recreational choices" he would say. Years later after he had been living in Utah for a while his entire outlook changed. Although he continued to respect that others would continue to make that choice, he said he could no longer consciously fire up an engine and tear through the wilderness where plants, animals and precious soil are all fighting for their lives due to our own pursuits that did not include living in harmony with the planet. My first time cross country skiing, I was having an amazing day, until 10 snowmobiles came tearing by expelling horrible smelling fumes, not to mention the incredible noise level that preceded them and then later continued even after they had left my sight. The arguments are there from both sides of the trail. But humans are so very good about forgetting about the creatures that share this world and how we have encroached upon their rightful living space 100 fold. I support America's Redrock Wildness Act.

If this bill passes then People like me will NOT be able to enjoy these lands with our passions, Jeeps and 4x4's. It is because of people like you, that dont take the time to actually think about what you are doing, that my favorite activities are slowly being restricted and we are slowly being told that this country is no longer free. Yes I agree we should be protection Utah from the oil companies and other corporations that want to use the land. But there is not good reason to restrict the land so far that jeeps are not allowed. I have a few friends that are disabled and have been all around the world in their jeeps, If you restrict jeeps from Moab then you are also ruining quite a few handicaped people from enjoying these lands. Not only is it ruining quite a few families chance to see these beautiful areas but it is also ruining the main player in the economy of Moab. Quite a few jobs will be lost because of your recklessness, I thought people like you were all about not losing anymore jobs? Thank you all for your stupidity Matthew I just wanted to take the time to thank you for trying to ruin one of the best off-roading locations in the USA.
