Thank you for sharing a very important part of the past. This is where the whole land grab mess started over gopherus agassizii. I was there and local at the time and it was a scam from the get go. But it was blatantly obvious the first time we saw a map of the then "proposed" park that it was crooked as hell. Top center and upper right white "exclusions" Are Molycorp and the Castle mountain mining areas controlled by Catellus at the time.
