I hope everyone signing this petitioning and commenting takes the time to read the petition and understand the issue. The way I understand it, this is not a petition to remove the restrictions the BLM has placed on running Coyote Canyon (permits, limited travel days, limited group size). It is a petition to keep nutjobs from closing it entirely, permit or not.
In my mind, I the argument is to either:
- keep Coyote open (as is, with all the permits/restrictions, etc) or
- lose Coyote because some wingnut has petitioned to close it because we're "damaging the environment"
In my opinion, we need to stay positive towards the BLM rather than attack them for imposing restrictions on us. We're not petitioning removing the restrictions, we're petitioning keeping it from being closed all together. Correct me if I'm wrong popafink.
