I totally agree. Would make a great addition to their charter that they must provide an easement to private property located within any forest service land.
I think the state has a good case and believe that the Pilgrim family will get their access road. I imagine they could present a case against the state for endangerment if the state doesn’t push the issue with the feds.
I have been thinking about this situation. This is an odd family, very odd. Not that this is criminal or anything; but how are the kids going to find mates? Maybe they are so family oriented that they don't care about that. But doesn't that doom the family?
I still think it should be criminal for the Park Service to deny access to private property. Just as I think it was criminal for Jannet Reno to fire-bomb the Branch Dividians in TX, or do an assassanation at Ruby Ridge. Ok, this case isn't nearly as deadly or extreme. But the more I think about it; these people are odd.
This is NOT TO SAY, however that they don't have a right to be odd! But I do wonder about them. They are much less of a threat to our freedoms than the government is though!
