What an arrogant bunch of ba$stards in the Forest Service Bureaucracy. Some heads in the Forest Service need to roll after January 20th 2013.
As a veteran of the Jarbidge NV shovel brigade I know this task can be done, by hand if necessary.
The FS hates it when the people overcome the artificial obstacles they throw up in an effort to please some special interest that has NO actual interest in the area!
This will be a much larger project than the Jarbige road was, in addition to shovels they are going to need shelter, food, and WATER!
Please post pics of the work in progress, and once complete.
Be sure to carefully document the FS tactics, they WILL attempt to intimidate the citizens into abandoning their noble effort.
DEFUND the Forest Service, Fish & Game, EPA and all the other useless brownshirts...
One would think that 1,000 people armed with shovels would cause far more environmental damage than would a few bucket wheel excavators and bulldozers.
Simply set fire to the forest during the dry season when the wind is brisk.
Tucson has water. They can dig a trench to Tucson and tap into the central canal.
Another of Obummer’s “shovel ready” jobs?
The city should just go ahead and do it anyway and when the Feds show up, have the Sheriff throw their asses in jail.
How ‘bout a picture of a pile of rifles to go with the pile of shovels?
