Re: Protected lands in the US

As I have said many times the land is attractive to visit but because of the closures you have to walk ten to fifteen miles to see it rather then using a road that is already there. Something wrong here that restricts the older ones from seeing the back country of our deserts. it's the young ones o...

Re: Ocotillo Wind Express Energy Project

thanks for the link to the story Brew. Speaking of idealogues, David Horowitz, who publishes Frontpagemag, is one of the world's leading right-wing propagandists.

Re: Water in the desert

Mike, I just read what you post.
