One of Saint Germain’s biggest objections to the creation of any public access route to Mossbrae has been that people will trash the place and compromise its natural beauty and serenity. Indeed, I spotted used toilet paper, beer cans and other garbage along the way.

It’s on private property? Then what’s the problem?

Other than the trespassers.

Note that this article comes from the SFGate, a subsidiary of the very LEFT SF Chronicle (I believe).

I would be very doubtful about a public access trail to this scenic site because it is Commiefornia and the things you have to ask about is maintenance, patrolling, future eminent domain seizure, insurance, ... etc.

Think about how long and how bitterly the fight for public access to the beaches has been going on in California. CA is ground zero of seizure and control over other people’s private property and that is not likely to change anytime soon.

What are the odds that this little piece is one of the first steps in the confiscation of Saint Germain Foundation’s land. For the “public good” don’t you know.
Snide little comments in the article like “Saint Germain Foundation, a secretive religious group”, in my opinion are thrown in to color the public’s opinion of the group and I doubt even California wants to spend millions in court to force the UP to move their tracks.
Therefore they must bring public opinion to bear on the little Saint Germain Foundation.
After all Freedom of Religion means Freedom from Religion (especially an unpopular religion) in Post Constitutional America.

It is pretty but not worth violating private property rights for. Why can’t people just leave landowners alone and go look at some other attraction?

there is a spot like that at Lake Travis in Austin Texas. Off of 1431 near Cow Creek as it is about to go into the Colorado River. Beautiful falls and a couple of stalactites around a nice water hole for swimming. Great times in the 1980s.

This is the more popular route for visitors, but it comes with serious risks: Two people have been hit by trains while hiking the route since 2011.

...Two deaths in 11 years is "serious risk". Does this author live in a plastic bubble? I certainly hope he hasn't gotten his ChinaVirus shots!
