Main Topic Trail closures in Moab (or others)
BLM
What’s a BLM?
Bureau of land management
A government body that manages public lands.
Is that a good thing?
Pros
Cons
Trail access, and closures in Moab (History of BLM vs. Mojave County AZ)
https://www.blm.gov/press-release/blm-designates-labyrinth-rims-gemini-bridges-travel-management-plan
https://www.facebook.com/BLMMoab/posts/pfbid02om35uhReqgqGU9mChYT8X3bx8AmpaNS2Uc7JVVz14tnWZxDfdosUBLp7shEmEsPel - The comments here are… insightful. 
Its important to remember that we’re not the only ones impacted
The comments clearly show the non-OHV view of OHV’s.  They still think we’re all here to destroy the land.
The BLM (and many of the commenters) believe that this is meant to balance use, not close it for one party.  Opinions?
