Larry Chase and I are tentatively planning an archaeologically based vanagon
campout in the Four Corners area next Spring and we have had a lot
of response from those interested in going.  Therein lies the vanagon
content.  For those of you who know and love these Canyonlands of southeast
Utah, I invite you to read, and perhaps respond to, the report in the link
below from the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance.

The BLM proposal will result in 84 percent of public lands near Moab (those
south of I-70 which attract most of the area's visitors) being within 1/2
mile of a designated ORV route.The wilderness which would be impacted is
rife with archaeological ruins and also contains irreplaceable natural
resources.  I don't advocate no access to wilderness - but there are already
numerous jeep trails and back roads in the canyon country, as well as mining
and oil and gas facilities.
