"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.

Actually I am hoping the 9th circus does the usual and we get this immediately to the Supreme Court. We need this solved once and for all as soon as possible.
This is just one example of the Feds trying to push legal landowners off their lands which are now surrounded by federal land. Some of these properties have been privately owned for over 100 years, and the new crop on employees/ infiltrators in the Fed park systems are trying to push out all private property owners.
The original railroad land holdings were divided up in one mile square parcels, and set out in a basic checkboard pattern, selling every other section to the public, every other one to the feds. Look on a good Wyoming map to see a classic example of what I am talking about.
