this is an issue close to home for me because these same enviro-whackos are trying to make Lake Powell (Glen Canyon) a National Park vs a National Recreation Area -- if this happens it's the deal knell for this tribe who just finished construction on a very high class marina on the Lake --

Great. I remember when they just broke ground at that marina, I bet it is nice. I hope the Navajo's kick their collective butts in court on that matter.

I hadn't heard the latest...have the environazi's given up on draining Powell yet? Have they failed in that respect, and now concentrating on the "Recreation" vs. "Park" issue now?

I dont' know if they've given up on draining the lake and are being very closed-mouthed about their new push to make it a National Park -- look at the new issue of Backpackers Magazine --

Unfortunately the majority of people hearing this will say: GREAT make it a National Park and never look at the ramifications of such..... but once you look at Yellowstone and other National Parks with Lakes you see what they have in mind.

They lost the push through the Bluewater Network to run jet skis off all the lake (now I hate the noise of jet ski's but next would be boats) so now they are trying a new back door approach and claim they have the Navajo on board in their quest.

I find that strange because their new Marina is very, very, classy, but then there is this medicine man who is literally in bed with the enviro's and wants the White Man off the lake and away from Navajo Mountain and Rainbow Bridge, so anything is possible.

The bad thing is the enviro's are backed by the likes of Robert Kennedy's Waterkeepers Alliance (follow the dots from the Board of Directors for Glen Canyon Institute and Living Rivers) and with the 501c3's have unlimited time to keep after this, the rest of us have to work for a living.

It only takes one person to make a motion to make it a National Park and heaven knows how some of the Senators downstream would vote (Feinstein, Boxer, McCain)... and the Eastern Senators would be clueless... so it is a worry.
