Sorry Folks, I Pick My Fights .. I wouldn't help these People in Utah if you Paid Me

A band of Utah residents rode all-terrain vehicles onto federally managed public land Saturday to protest the Bureau of Land Management closing off the area. 
[...] 
In Blanding, Utah, in the state’s scenic southeastern, the protesters and their supporters say the agency has unfairly closed off a prized area, cheating them of outdoor recreation, according to The Los Angeles Times.
However, federal officials say the region, known for its archaeological ruins, has been jeopardized from overuse. 
Bureau of Land Management Utah State Director Juan Palma, in a statement, said the riders may have damaged artifacts and dwellings that "tell the story of the first farmers in the Four Corners region" of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado.
"The BLM was in Recapture Canyon today collecting evidence and will continue to investigate," Palma said. "The BLM will pursue all available redress through the legal system to hold the lawbreakers accountable."
Bureau of Land Management officers recorded and documented protesters who traveled into the closure area, he added. San Juan County Sheriff Rick Eldredge said from 40 to 50 people, many of them waving American flags, drove about a mile down Recapture Canyon near Blanding and then turned around. Hundreds attended a rally at a nearby park before the protest

These protesters with their ATV's are acting like jackasses .. and selfish ones at that.

They still have a huge area there TO RUIN with their vehicles. This area closed off is still open to foot traffic and horse back.

These people need to get a life. Maybe get off there ass and walk a little .. Take in the scenery the way it was meant to be taken in .. and not roll all over it.

I agree with you Bos. As a resident of this beautiful state, these people and their vehicles are tearing up lands that will take years - if not generations - to re generate. And they do it because they are trying to make some lame statement. I don't support stupid. And these people are STUPID.
