"Wildlands" decree could impact 6 million acres...

...of Utah land.

Looks like the "Empire" speaketh again... This time it's sounding like another "federal land grab" that's using a backdoor approach to create more "wilderness".

Washington • Interior Department Secretary Ken Salazar announced plans Thursday to allow land managers to designate swaths of public land as “wild lands” and protect them, essentially setting aside a 2003 agreement negotiated by then-Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt that had taken away that authority.

Salazar issued an order allowing Bureau of Land Management officials to place public lands with wilderness characteristics in a new category that offers more protection. About 6 million acres in Utah could be affected.

Gads it's frackin' disgusting that the federal government owns so much land out west... Especially when they have so much power to block states from developing their own resources - often with the encouragement of special interest enviro-nazi groups.

More wilderness! I guess I'm going to need to get a horse because the first thing they prohibit in a wilderness area is any form of mechanized travel. As well as any mining. Too bad the good old days of homesteading are long gone. Sometimes I feel like I was born 100 years too late.

One more example of bureaucrats using regulations to gain control when they know that there's not enough popular support to pass laws through Congress. These folks want to limit access of these lands to the "greenies" and keep the rest of us out. If you own a four wheel drive, you are the ENEMY.

Executive orders and restrictive regulations are the end of representative government in our country.

Snap up the mining claims as fast as you can. Keeping a claim will keep you with access.

I dont like this ken salazar man. I admit that I got caught in the "Hope" of the obama politics and thought in my young mind that maybe if you give them one more chance they will change. No not at all. I think I have now lost that hope and all I want is less government.

There is a mine at the bottem of dry canyon just north of the skin diver mine i would love to get a claim on or at least buy the small piece of land it is on????
any suggestions???

There was a gentleman, last summer, that had 80 acres for sale at the bottom of dry canyon. All four claims he has are patented and he only wanted $800 per acre. The only catch was he owned 83% interest in the claims. I wanted to work out something with him (maybe a possible seperation of one of the four 20 acre claims but wasn't getting enough support from the misses at the time to move forward. I'm not sure if he ever sold it or if he would have approved breaking off one claim though. In any case, I'm sure the buyer will have to pay all titling costs and any break out would likely be contigent on the other owner with 17% to agree to the transaction. If someone is really serious I could dig up his information and put you in contact with him, but please no "tire kickers".
