14/15…THE CALM BEFORE THE SWARM #1…Moab Utah in the late 1980s
Jim Stiles
In the summer of 1987, the economy of Moab and Grand County hit rock bottom. A few years earlier, as uranium prices plummeted, the Atlas Vanadium Processing Mill north of town closed its doors for good. The mill, which had at one time provided hundreds of jobs now lay silent. It seemed as if the mainstay of Grand County’s economy had vanished overnight and Moab was ghost town bound.

Tonight I watched a PBS special about Jim Stiles, Edward Abbey and the west. It was so interesting and educational. I became a follower in just 60 minutes. I learned more about that portion of the US than any book has ever attempted to explore and describe.It made me want to turn back time and experience the area before the dam and urban upheaval.Thank you: Earth First, Edward Abbey, Jim Stiles and others who saved a written memory of what humans can and will do to our environment if we don’t change.
