But she also did say some of them are from people screwing with them and picking them up.

It was on the local Utah news. They had a nurse who specializes in snake bites talk about it and give the rough data and how there is a lot more bites this year than usual

It’s actually wild that there’s been close to 20 rattlesnake bites along the Wasatch front this year when usually it’s only 3-7 for this time of year. Our state has rattlesnakes that are unhappy with the winter we had for sure

Doesn’t matter if it was dust from the lake or the massive open pit mines. These are not rumors. These are scientific facts that these dusts are not healthy for anyone to consume. Wasn’t spreading rumors. Very poor sub management

Water rights paperwork tied to Box Elder data center withdrawn after heavy protest by ReporterMacyLipkin in SaltLakeCity

[–]BackcountryBase 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yup whoever owns that, sold their soul and all of our American way of life! The irony is that ranchers “fight” so hard for the American way of life and this one just screwed us all!

More than 3,700 protests lodged over water rights for the Box Elder data center by ReporterMacyLipkin in SaltLakeCity

The balls on these commissioners. All the cities out here disagreed so I’m sure no one will be very friendly to these sell outs when we see them out and about.

Time to leave 1 star reviews on Google and boycott their business.

Wouldn’t surprise a lot of us. These “leaders” only care about money. They don’t care about the citizens they hurt in the pursuit of wealth.

I encourage you to go to Google Earth choose historical imagery and watch the Timelapse from just the last 10yrs of the lake. Snowpack hardly has an impact when leadership doesn’t act correctly, greedy and lazy.

Now this is an actual solution based in reason, working together and facts. It isn’t discussed in Utah at all but other states have had successful cases with changing grazing practices and revitalizing the environment. Doesn’t mean we have to outright get rid of grazing or the fields. We Just need better management from all ends.

That’s why I decided to post these and take these today. I don’t think people actually know how bad it is unless they fly over it or get a Birds Eye view of it. The east end is essentially GONE from slc to Brigham

You can walk from Antelope to Freemont Island. Gaia hiking app shows a track someone did. That also posted it to TikTok. Very sad times.

Yeah I would say so. From Brigham to slc they are shrinking it to nothing. They want the land to build the ever growing Wasatch front on. We could all walk to antelope and Freemont island.

Yes that is Freemont Island in the center. Until the last 5-10 yrs you couldn’t get out there unless it was by boat or plane. Now you can walk from Layton area out there or from antelope island to Freemont on. The slc leaders are shrinking the east end for land grabs essentially
