Dozens of protesters ride in off-limits canyon

ap story via Free Republic

The group's act of defiance marks the latest illustration of growing tension between angry rural Western residents and the federal government over management of public lands...The canyon is open to hikers and horseback riders.

Looks like it may be a mistake.  Nevertheless, a case can be made that the government is seizing a lot more land than is necessary.  In this case, if you were to look at all of the facts, there may be some claim to a legitimate protest.  But taking motorized vehicles into the area wasn't really necessary.  This kind of protest can backfire.
