Someone brought up the local services available in Moab a while back and I've been thinking on it ever since. It's probably partly on my mind because I'm a business owner and we are constantly discussing the "buy local" concept.
I want to point out that the more business we can bring into Moab while we're there, the harder the locals will fight to help us keep the Moab area trails open. Seems like every year we read about public land being closed down. Tellico OHV comes to mind most recently and it seems like the Rubicon is under constant threat, just to name a couple. Tourism is very important to the Moab area and if the trails start getting closed down, it's going to hit them where it hurts - the pocket book.
For example, this year we purchased the event liability insurance through a local insurance agency.
This also speaks to being good "ambassadors" while we are in Moab. We don't want to make the Moab residents think the fullsize 4x4 crowd is a bunch of jackasses or a-holes.
Okay, I'm done preaching. I just wanted to bring it up so everyone can keep this in mind while we're in Moab for Blazer Bash. We (the 4x4 community) need all the help we can get to fight the greenies.
