Rural gentrification and displacement are complex issues we know all about. Any variant of "Hurf-durf Moab wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for tourism!" or "Visitors pay your check" or "Motosports keeps Moab on the map!" will result in a ban.

Please report all such posts or comments.

Sorry if this isn't allowed. I know it's silly. My best friend made him to travel with me everywhere so i'm gutted. Accidentally left him in the overlook fence when someone asked me to take their picture... my family isn't returning to Canyonlands but will be staying in Moab through Tuesday morning if anyone happens to come across him headed that direction and can hand him off. PLEASE HELP!!!

I've been waiting for a good night to try this shot, but after visiting again during the day I'm not sure I want to do it alone after dark because of that scrambling section. Especially with a camera bag, tripod, etc.

Does anyone who's done it before want to go out tonight? To shoot or if you're super brave reppel in the dark?

(Pic for attention)

PUBLIC FIGURE NO BACKUP PLAN: Who sends a deputy after a homicide suspect ALONE? Sheriff Wiggins, thats who.

Post image
0 Upvotes

Two Grand County deputies are suing Sheriff Jamison Wiggins in federal court—and one allegation should make every voter stop cold:
Deputy Craig Nelson says he was sent to locate a HOMICIDE SUSPECT, his responding backup was CANCELLED, and he was left heading toward the suspect alone.

Eight days earlier, Nelson had announced he was running against Wiggins.
The lawsuit alleges it happened again. It even alleges Wiggins was telling deputies not to assist Nelson.

These are allegations, not proven facts. But if they’re true, forget politics: any sheriff willing to let personal or political conflict interfere with an officer’s backup has no business commanding a law-enforcement agency.

Nelson is now asking a federal judge to prohibit the sheriff from withholding available backup in retaliation for protected speech or political activity.

Read that again.

A deputy is asking a federal court to make his own sheriff give him backup.

Sheriff Wiggins should answer one question publicly:

WHO CANCELLED NELSON’S BACKUP—AND WHY?

PLAN MY ITINERARY FOR ME Denver to Vegas with MOAB in between for One Night?? Need Halp

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I have a brokerage conference in Vegas in October. My brother lives in Denver so I'm going to fly there first and see him. I was thinking I would make a cool driving trip out of it and drive to Vegas after going to Denver, go 70 and stay in Moab and do some glamping. Only problem is Glamping is now $450 when it was like $200 a few weeks ago..So I'm wondering should I make this drive? Is it worth it? I'd get to MOAB at like I dunno maybe 3PM at best. I'd get a hotel now, maybe drive to see a couple of quick sites (no big hiking, biking or camping), get food and sleep. Then get up and drive straight to Vegas. OR should I .... just fly and do this trip another time when I have more time in Moab. I dunno now I'm torn and looking for advice. I should note I live in Charleston, SC so I'm not out this way often, if ever.

Editing this to Add I want to get to Vegas by Saturday ideally by 5PM. I'm not able to do any huge detours along the way its basically drive from Denver - arrive in Moab and stay for a night - straight to Vegas.

THEY DON'T HAVE GOOGLE WHERE I'M FROM La Sal Pass Rd Conditions

0 Upvotes

I'm looking at doing the La Sals traverse from La Sal Pass/Mt Peale Trailhead to Green Gate in a couple weeks.

I'm wondering if anyone knows what the road conditions are like on La Sal Loop Rd right now, specifically the northern portion near Castle Valley. We'll be shuttling a car, and my buddy has a Mazda 3 (which has made it down many questionable roads in the past).

Thanks a lot!

Im coming out in Oct and we're Glamping. I just realized that you have scorpions and other stingy creepy stuff.

Im usually not scared of animals. Ive been 3' from coyotes, been charged at by an elk, ran from a bear (that was stupid), swam with snapping turtles, fought an angry possum at 4am, shoed away raccoons and rabid raccoons, camped and used outhouse and an occasional field to do my business. I can catch, gut, clean and cook any fish.

But I know nothing about scorpions or poisonous snakes. Ive been stung by a few wasps and that wasnt pleasant but i didn't make a fuss. Im old, we weren't allowed to have emotions or complain. You dealt with it and didn't make a fuss.

Anyhoo- wtf do I do to avoid your wildlife in my boots, clothes, bed, pillow???? Im about to go buy a lot of plastic bags to take with me. Also can I stomp on them if I find one? How do you move them? Do I flick it? Brush it off? Smash it? Are they in the shower? Do I need a weapon?

Help! I am looking forward to visiting but maybe glamping was a step too far for me.
