Imagine if a large oil and gas company, not even based in Utah, ended up with control of a large chunk of land in Moab and pursued its development!

Due to the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, legislation that makes it possible for companies like Prairie Hills Oil and Gas to use parcels of public land for drilling purposes, North Dakota-based lawyer Craig Larson looks to be at the front of this charge, as they propose to lease a chunk of territory between Arches and Canyonlands National Park.

Whoever offers up the most cash will end up with the control of the land, which goes up for auction in September.

After 23 years of corporate life, I decided to pursue my passions in the off road industry. Specializing in marketing, visibility, relationship and brand building, and acting as MetalCloak's field marketing representative, I have travelled across the country (quite a few times!) using Metalcloak’s CTI (Corner Travel Index) to educate the off road enthusiast. I have also worked with Jeep Jamboree USA as event staff, to provide additional value and education to its participants. I've been fortunate enough to work with both international as well as domestic media; have attended most of the off-road events across our country; and have driven a wide variety of vehicles. I'm a certified PADI scuba instructor and have a BS in Computer Science.
