"We're holding out optimism that the Ninth Circuit will grant emergency access to the Pilgrims so they can survive the winter and the family can get out of the inhumane situation that the Park Service has put them in."

I hope their optimism is not misplaced...but it's the 9th Circus they're depending on.

The Pilgrims' situation is just about the worst case scenario that could be contemplated

I'd have to say amen to that.

If the National Park Service is going to close the only road to the Pilgrim's property, then the NPS should provide free helicopter service.

The worse parts was the Feds lying about the family to the locals...
The Feds went to this family's neighbors and told them that their music instrument cases really held thousands of rounds of ammo and assault rifles..
Almost as if the Feds were painting a picture of a terrorist family...so if an armed confrontation went down...they already had their alibis lined up

Rights, farms, environment ping.

Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

There is a lot more to this story regarding the NPS's abuse of power & this family in particular. See:

If Pilgrims lose land to park, we all do
(An excellent summation of the true intentions behind the NPS's harassment!)

Two thoughts jump out at me. First of all was the nature od that 2003 fire ever positively determines? No, I am not attracted to tinfoil, but I have seen too much in the last 40 years to rule anything out.
Second, someone had to make the decision to run over an unknown family in a remote isolated place using the brute force of government and the abuse of power in what was hoped would be a invisible place.That slimeball should be isolated and beat within an inch of his life, either actually or legally.

One of my new problems working with the county was a local railroad denying a man access to his own driveway which he'd used 23 years because the rails crossed it... Similar garbage, and must be handled in a similar manner (in the courts). Hope he does better than dealing with the 9th Circus Court of Weasels.
