Show THE ZEPHYR/ APRIL-MAY RE: SILVER BULLETS Dear Editor Ref: Silver Bullets Vol 18 No 5 “Passport and Corporate Ties” : I camped for sometime with a well experinced campground host. He informed me pe the ene . La! Recource Management” as created by some past heads of the USFS and f Also: I tried to use a big USFS camp ground on the Mogollon Rim. It was staffed with people wearing Forest Ranger Greens, round hats and Volunteer Badges. The main roads were paved. Reservations were needed for all the good spaces some paved. They were filled with big diesel pusher rigs or big trailers with a 30K “Pick Up” truck. With inquiry I found that a number of poor spaces were available to the what would be considered trailer trash campers off by themselves. Reservations were needed for all the good spaces used by the big dollar rigs. Ihave my doubts if the “Fourteen Day” limit rule was in effect. In my view this is a near private campground paid for with taxpayers money for the profit of “Recreation Resource Management”.

ABOUT MELVIN DUMMAR Dear Jim, I was fascinated by your comments on Melvin Dummar in the October/November is" sue. We live in Rangely, CO, and when we first moved here we got our TV from Salt Lake City. For a time, even after we got Denver channels, we still got KSL, but this has been some time ago, at least 15 years, I’m sure. One of the Salt Lake stations once reported a story about another man a lot like Melvin, who lived in the boonies of Nevada and had never heard of Howard Hughes. As I remember, someone finally told him the Melvin and Cari Sandburg Howard story, and he said almost exactly the same thing had happened to him--he found an old man wandering along a deserted highway and drove him to Vegas. I can’t remember how much the man paid him if anything. I’ve believed Melvin’s story for years--that will just included too many things Melvin couldn’t have dreamed up, and God knows’ Howard was crazy enough to do just about anything. And rich enough. I love the Zephyr. Mickey Allen Rangely, CO DRIVE 55 AND STAY ALIVE...BUT GO NUTS IN THE PROCESS es, Once again The Zephyr provokes my thoughts... Stramatolites were highly successful primitive organisms that thrived in the shallow, warm seas of Earth about a billion years ago. They loved the carbon dioxide rich atmosphere of early Earth and soon overpoplulated the globe. Eventually the waste excreted by the stramatolites began to build up to levels that were toxic to them. The waste ex- Moab, UT 84532 PO Box 67. 691 North 500 West info@texsriverways.com 435.259.5101 www.texsriverways.com creted by the stramatolites was oxygen. They couldn't survive in the new atmosphere and now all that’s left of them are fossils. We humans are the new stramatolites and undoubtedly after our demise, some new life form will arise that will thrive on the waste products that eventually poison us. As the modern equivalent of a waste producing stramatolite, I tried your experiment IMA “hy, SHREDDIN' of maintaining a 60 mph speed on a recent drive across the west. It was frustrating. Rather than barreling down the highway at a “safe and sane” 75, I held back, reigned it in, and exercised patience. Large suv’s and semi trucks rode my bumper. They seemed to take my moderate speed as a personal insult, some of them flipping me the bird and honking as they passed. There was one near head-on collision involving a zippy little Honda driven by a cell phone chatting NAU student passing me like a bullet in the face of an oncoming semi truck. Other than my elevated blood pressure there was no real damage. Overall the trip took a little longer but I realized significant savings in gas money. COLORADO DOCUMENT However due to the stress level involved, until the old 55mph speed limit of the 70's is reinstituted, and assuming my financial condition improves, I won't be trying the 60 mph experiment again.

The number of visitor dogs caught in traps is unknown. Concerned citizens have requested that the Grand County Council form an advisory committee to review the problem. The advisory committee will include the BLM, DWR, Humane _ Society, Sand Flats Management and several interested dog owners and trappers. Most members of the committee have expressed interest in participating, and are waiting for an invitation from the county. The Utah Department of Wildlife Resources has the sole authority to change trapping regulations in Utah. Grand County and the other committee members need to prepare a proposal by July 19, 2007 with a recommendation to the state of Utah that small, local, high use areas, such as the Sand Flat Recreation Area, are no longer appropriate for trapping. The following concerns and information should be part of the committee’s review. fasken@bresnan.net NAID ol] 2 PO Box 188 Moab, UT 84522 hsmv@citlink.net...259.
