Moab is quite the place. And to think that Edward Abbey was lamenting the tourist impact in the early 70s in his Desert Solitaire. You make a great point about the parallels. BV does seem well-positioned to become a major adventure tourist destination. I fear that we will need to make some major changes to prevent 24 from deteriorating further. The new True Value is a case and point. And apparently the town did everything the could and more for that project. Cheers. Hey Allison… great post. Moab is quite the place.

This is a great reminder… finding the right balance between building/sign codes and free enterprise is very important. Crested Butte may provide a good roadmap. And incorporating Johnson’s village–the gateway to our town– may be a smart move for BV to consider. Overrun by Tourists…
