The Bureau of Land Management wants more feedback on a proposal to restrict camping near Moab. The area in question is a popular dispersed camping spot near Labyrinth Rims and Gemini Bridges just north of town. And later, public submissions are open for a queer abolitionist book about the Great Salt Lake. Plus, our radio partners report on a new cremation option in our region that’s viewed as more environmentally friendly; one that uses water instead of fire. And finally, we preview the Moab City Council agenda.
