What good are these lands if the BLM shuts them down and keeps people off them for the “better good” that the enviro-nazis constantly try to persuade our lawmakers to enact laws for.
I spent many days each year in Eastern Oregon hunting and experiencing those sights, sounds and smells without seeing another human being or even hearing their sounds. Our kids have experienced some of it but I fear my grandkids and great grandkids will never have the privilege of the same experiences.
I was in Western Oregon ... the Cascades ... Great Place to be a kid in the 60’s and 70’s.
When I was younger it was on Horseback... hit my teens it was a Dirtbike... I will forever be blessed with those memories and then I’m cursed with the knowledge / reality that my kids never got to and did not experience a long ride (adventure), spring water and a simple camp meal then in the morning shaking off the frost from your sleeping bag and frying up just caught Trout over the camp fire.
