Figured I'd throw this on here it's in Utah down by I70 I believe. I don't know a lot about it other than what I have heard recently. It was originally supposed to help the offroad community but has morphed into something leaning more towards the tree hugger community. No one for sure says what it is going to do to existing trails. The county commissioners say that they were worried about a future president easily taking land away from us by designating another monument so this is supposed to protect that from happening. Basically taking one bad deal in exchange for a possibility of a future worse bad deal that may or may not ever happen. They had a big meeting the other day and most everyone in the county opposes it from what I have seen but the commissioners still voted to support the bill in Congress. It looks like they are doing it for the money from some mineral leases and school trust lands. They say that the existing trails will be set up as a right of way through the wilderness area but all the offroad community posts I've seen on FB say that they will most likely just start shutting them down and blocking them off. Plus a lot of the trails are not officially designated routes so they would be easily closed under the bill. I do not know if it was voted on in Congress yet. They were thinking that would happen this week. Anyways it's a sad deal that they are trying to take more land and trails away from responsible offroad use. This will open things up for more land to be taken away by the tree hugger community in the future I'm sure. https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th...27/text#toc-H92A12AAEAC63401494E71266F3C8016C
