More and more of the public are using public lands. It is an issue we really don't know how to deal with. We manage millions and millions of square miles of public lands but we never thought the public might want to use some of them. We can't figure out how to police the small percentage of the public who don't respect these public lands. We better just keep all the public off these public lands.

Anyone ever get the feeling BLM doesn't know what the word public means?
