UPDATE FROM THE WILDERNESS...............
Here's the latest from the Forest Service on the matter....
http://www2.srs.fs.fed.us/r3/gila/news/newsdetails.asp?newsid=75 What they DON'T tell you there, is that after they had to send a memo out to their employees stating that anyone caught taking Diamond Bar cattle would be subject to fine, imprisonment or both, none of their fine employees wanted to stick their necks out to do the gather.
Also, the closure they speak of, never happened to begin with.
They also don't say that the 2 contractors they had to do the gather, backed out when they found out about the fine, imprisonment or both....and they aren't going to be able to get anyone from close by to do it. We hear that they have 2 applicants from Utah and 1 from Canada, but have no idea if it's the truth, or the truth according to the Forest Service.
There are a few things in the works right now, that I'm not at liberty to share at this time, but hopefully, the next time I make it to town, there will be more update to give ya'll.
Thanks for your well-wishes!
