Ok let me say first that I do not agree with the manner that this person presents his view points (too many personal attacks) BUT I do think that this idea is very interesting.
Avoiding personal attacks on the author,,, what do you think about the idea?
"TOLL BOOTHS FOR NEXT EASTER?
Dear Editor,
I, along with many other locals, are annoyed about the destructive nature of Moab’s infamous "Easter Jeep Safari." These jeepers come to Moab for one week and rip it to pieces like my dog and a stuffed animal. I’m sick of going out after Jeep safari and finding trash strewn across the desert for months after. If they cannot pick up their mess, they shouldn’t come to our mecca of beauty to play. I value the beauty of the canyon country, and I don’t want it to be destroyed. I want my children to be able to enjoy it as much as I have.
I know that the jeepers are a major factor in keeping this town alive, and I know that Moab is just a place of play for all the tourists that come here. But for me it’s more than that; it’s my home. It may not always be, but for now it is and I’m going to protect it.
This is why I suggest that for that one week of absolute havoc and mayhem, we set up toll booths to get within the Moab City limits. I don’t think the jeepers will mind an extra ten dollars, for a week of fun, happiness, and extreme jeeping, and carnage. This money can go to rehabilitate the land they destroy, help fund public schools, and buy all of you alcohol loving adults a drink after the stressful week from hell and all the hard working kids a root beer after having to put up with all the stupid tourists asking for shirt after shirt at the T-Shirt Shop.
I know it’s asking a lot but I think a lot of people will agree with me that this is a good idea. I think that if they don’t have the manners to pack out what they packed in, they should either have to give us money every time they come to town or have to sit through a two hour, extremely boring movie, where we will try to cram some moral decency into their little heads.
Sincerely.
