Dispute Over Cattle Grazing Disrupts Patrols Of Federal Land
January 27, 2016 Kirk Siegler

Listen to the Story

Ever since a tense, armed standoff near Cliven Bundy's Nevada ranch in 2014, a vast and sensitive piece of federal public land adjacent to the Grand Canyon has gone unmanaged and unpatrolled. ....

Gold Butte, roughly the size of Los Angeles County, is basically lawless right now. Trash is dumped here and there. Some of the BLM's route markers are torn down. Illegal off-road tracks from ATVs lead into the desert. Some pioneer gravesites were even dug up, bones scattered everywhere. ......


Gold Butte's red rock cliffs and slot canyons are home to many ancient petroglyphs. Some, like this one, have been shot at and damaged since federal land managers left the area due to safety concerns.

1. Thanks for the post. BTW, you can also read the story at the same link.

I'd still rather read than listen, a lot faster.

Thanks again.
