San Rafael Special Recreation Management Area activity plan should not eliminate pre-existing routes and vehicle dispersed campsites that have not been properly identified by the BLM. Access and related activities in these areas should not be eliminated, nor restricted. We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge our leaders to act now to encourage the BLM and Emery County to properly identify and allow continued access to pre-existing routes and vehicle dispersed campsites in the San Rafael Swell. Please keep in mind that we are not asking to open any new routes, or sites, we are only concerned with those that are pre-existing.
i have been spending hours looking at maps of the swell trying to figure out which routes might disappear first and it honestly just feels like a tragedy waiting to happen. someone mentioned that they have camped in the same spot for twenty years and i keep thinking about how that history just gets erased if we stop paying attention.

RIDICULOUS. We need more access not less. Leave the existing sites alone.
