New way to find boondocking places in Utah

There may actually be less access. The description of wilderness means no access. No human contact. From the rough example that they give of Goblin Valley SP it will probably remove all the boondocking areas just outside the park. Look at the map colors and then look at where freecampsites.net shows camping and I bet it's gone when they resize the park.

You may also want to look into "The Re wilding" of America and "Agenda 21". There is nothing wrong with protecting and cleaning up our environment but you may find that there is more going on here than just that. The re wilding issue is based on creating large areas of zero human contact. In order to support the large carnivores the "areas" must have "connectivity" so they are huge. In the end you will most likely see less and less areas to use. Some believe that the only natural place for humans is in cities. They use the words positive social contact, interaction and support. They believe being spread out and on your own is very destructive to the environment.

There are many advocates of wanting to see the world population decreased by about 6 billion people but they dont seem to be willing to step forward and go first. No, none of this will happen quickly so big things or controversial things are often accomplished through incrementalism.

It's a government site. That's funny that it looked like an advertisement to you. I guess sometimes they are the same thing :B.

Just click on 'MAPS' and ignore anything else.

(And no, it has nothing to do with vehicle usage. It's a site about proposals for increasing protection in some areas and decreasing it in others.)

can you post a quote from the specific part you like? the website looks too much like an advertisement for me to read.

while hiking around various spots in Utah this December, I found a lot of spots open to camping, but 99% of them were hike in, not drive in. is that the political problem you describe? anti-vehicle types want less off-road driving? the government seems to take that stance, with signs everywhere demanding you stay on the designated roadway, and no "camping" except in designated spots.

I was too chicken to tow my low-slung trailer down any dirt roads, concerned about clearance and not being able to turn around. Sometimes I dream I'd like a truck camper rig, but the ones I can afford I can't fit in, and the ones I'd like I need to win the lotto first :)

Now and then as I drove the paved roads last December, I would see a truck camper way off in the rough, and wonder how he got out there with no obvious roads anywhere nearby.
