I too live in Moab and we dread the annual descent of out-of-town ORV hordes. Spring dust storms, the constant din of motors from anywhere in town, yahoo drivers speeding up and down our streets. It's a spring break personal ego-gratification type of atmosphere that pervades town. The damage done to public lands, a national treasure around Moab, is despicable. The whole notion that certain types of recreation is more important than permanent soil and watershed damage is absurd. The BLM needs to reign in the yahoos and start managing to protect a world-class landscape. If we trash this land, people will not visit the Moab area any more. This holds true for any town seduced to thinking that ORV mayhem is somehow good for the economy.
