JD is joined by Ben Burr from Blue Ribbon Coalition for a straight-up land access scoreboard on the fights shaping the future of motorized recreation. Ben breaks down the rescission of the BLM Public Lands Rule, the Roadless Rule fight, Moab route reassessments, the San Rafael Swell, WEMO closures in the Western Mojave Desert, and why the minimization criteria could become a serious threat to OHV access nationwide. They also talk about local advocacy groups, fieldwork, the Outdoor Americans with Disabilities Act, and why off-roaders need to submit meaningful comments instead of assuming someone else has it covered. If you care about public land access, trail closures, Jeep trails, overlanding, OHV routes, or keeping backcountry roads open for people who cannot simply hike in, this episode is one to share.📍Trails and DestinationsMoab Area Trails, UtahLabyrinth Rims / Gemini Bridges Travel Management Area, UtahSan Rafael Swell, UtahHenry Mountains Road, UtahGrand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, UtahWestern Mojave Desert / WEMO Route Network, CaliforniaChuckwalla National Monument, CaliforniaRock Springs Field Office, WyomingColorado Roadless Areas🛠️ Gear and ToolsBlueRibbon Coalition SxS Sweepstakes2026 Polaris RZR PRO S 4ChatGPT — discussed as a tool for helping regular users understand agency documents and land-use legal language.🚙 Community ShoutoutsBen Burr: BlueRibbon CoalitionChad Dixon: Trails Preservation AllianceJD: MeAndMyYellowJKSimone Griffin: BlueRibbon Coalition🌎 Advocacy & ConservationBlueRibbon CoalitionBlueRibbon Coalition Action CenterOperation AccessibleOutdoor Americans with Disabilities ActCORE – Keep Trails OpenTrails Preservation AllianceUtah Public Lands Alliance📰 News TopicsBLM Rescinds the Public Lands RuleTimeline: BRC’s 3-Year Fight to Rescind the BLM Public Lands RuleThe Public Lands Rule Is a Public Lands Sell-OffThe Roadless Rule RescissionUSDA Accepting Comments on Roadless Rule RescissionSupport the Grand Reopening of Our Off-Road Trails in MoabHow To Submit Meaningful Moab Comments to Reopen Closed TrailsBLM Proposes Reopening Closed OHV Routes in San Rafael Swell & DesertWEMO Trail Closures: 2,200 OHV Miles Closed in the Western Mojave DesertMinimization Criteria Overreach and the Closure of 2,200 Miles of Routes in the Mojave Desert WEMO PlanBRC Files Intervention in Ninth Circuit Appeal of WEMO ClosuresWEMO: Minimization Criteria — An Endless StandardHow Ancient Nixon-Era Executive Orders Close Public Land AccessOutdoor Americans with Disabilities Act Re-Introduced in CongressLee, Curtis Introduce Outdoor ADA Alongside Measures to Keep Roads Open for Americans with DisabilitiesHow the Environmental Movement Lost Its Power📅 Events and ResourcesBlueRibbon Coalition SxS SweepstakesBlueRibbon Coalition Individual MembershipsBlueRibbon Coalition DonateBlueRibbon Coalition Action CenterWEMO Trail Closures: Take ActionBLM West Mojave Route Network ProjectExecutive Order 11644 – Use of Off-Road Vehicles on Public LandsExecutive Order 11989 – Off-Road Vehicles on Public Lands📞 Get involved!Leave us a voicemail!
