Subject: Save Canyonlands

Dear concerned citizen,

     In its waning days, the Bush administration is moving to lease up to 11 million acres of Utah 's spectacular Red Rock canyon country.

    When I lived in Utah I went with a motorcycle gang to Canyonlands and other parks.  We rode dirt bikes, trucks and sometimes ATVs.

    The national parks have a rule: ,motorized vehicles are allowed only on authortized trails, riverbeds and bare rocks.  Riverbeds and bare rocks have no life.  The desert contains cryptogamic soil, which can take up to a century to discover if tread on. 

     I have a simple policy: make all land in southern Utah with cryptogamic soil off-limits to humans.
