Well it's that time again, we need to renew our five-year permit with the Moab BLM Field Office. We have already submitted a preliminary outline of trail choices to be considered, obviously all of our current Jeep Safari trails were included. We have also included a few additional trails which we are hoping can be added to the permit.
So far we have asked for:
- The Pickle
- Mashed Potatoes
- Where Eagles Dare
- Rusty Nail
- and making the 3 Hot Tubs, Hell's Gate, and the Escalator official parts of Hell's Revenge
There are also a few omissions on current Jeep Safari trails which we are asking for including overviews at Day Point, and Hatch Point.
I am planning on submitting some additional trails and routes such as:
- Coyote Canyon (which is first in line to be considered as a trail once all the rest of the current RMP trails are marked)
- Adding the part of the wash which connects from the bridge by Coyote Canyon to the bottom of the private property boundary on Strike Ravine, this would also give people an opportunity to drive from Coyote Canyon to Area BFE without getting on the main County Road, as well as give an optional exit from Strike Ravine for breakdowns.
If you have any additional routes or trails you would like considered for the new permit please let me know ASAP! I told the permit coordinator that I would get her an amended proposal within a week so she can start working on it and hopefully have the paperwork completed by summer which should give plenty of time to address any anticipated legal challenges, as I'm sure will happen, and still allow the implementation by 2012.
Any additional suggestions need to include a very detailed description of where they are, and where they go; marked or highlighted maps would be preferable.
Keep in mind this is the same permit which will be used by everybody in the area including Bronco Safari, Zuki Safari (or whatever it's called), etc., as well as the local tour companies.
Feel free to post up on here, or e-mail me personally at cojeep at yahoo.com.
Thank you!
