2. Recreational users beg to differ

Even the weasel-ly Mr. Chaffetz had to back down when hunters, anglers, and other recreational users found out he wanted to sell/privatize BLM land.

Honestly, few people besides ranchers and outdoor enthusiasts visit these areas. Beautiful and remote areas. Many of the roads still are not paved, or were paved only recently (kind of destroying the character from when my husband and I visited years ago). My last visit was marred by giant earth movers far off the main highway. Nearest main road was over 30 miles away. Remains of similar earth removal projects were passed on our way back to SLC.
