Letter: While we’re fixing Utah roads, I have one for the list

(Al Hartmann | The Salt Lake Tribune) Rugged country of jumbled sandstone caprock in the Molen Reef area of the San Rafael Swell. A series of oil and gas leases offered by the BLM could threaten parts of Molen Reef an area that rock art enthusiasts say is ripe with pictographs and other cultural artifacts.

I am one of those people who love to camp in public lands, so I have not appreciated Rep. Mike Noel’s efforts to take public lands away from the public over the years, but I have to say I am glad he sponsored SB2004, which will provide funds for counties to maintain more existing roads in public lands.

I hope that one of the roads on the list is the one we use in the edge of the San Rafael Swell, north of Goblin Valley, which has much deteriorated in recent years.
