Our thoughts on Interior Secretary Zinke moving the departments/agencies tasked with managing our public lands out of Washington DC is pretty simple. We’d rather have these folks be available to the folks affected by their management and be in the heart of the lands they manage………..rather than be at the doorstep of the lobbyists and […]
As most of you can imagine, we get a ton of emails and calls on new bills, laws and movements by enviro groups to further take away the public lands from you…..who owns the lands. Right now there are attacks in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and California to further restrict either access to these lands, or […]
During the Obama Administration, environmental groups lobbied endlessly to have millions of acres of your public lands designated as “National Monuments”. Part of their claims were that Native Americans wanted this.

We have been talking about RS2477 (Revised Statute 2477) quite a bit lately and encourage you to read Marjorie Haun’s outstanding piece on the subject here.

Barstow/BLM illegal road closures… We are home after a rather interesting weekend down in Barstow CA. We’ll take you through the time line of what happened with the BLM and their closure of the roads leading to the validly held mining claims of literally thousands of mining claim owners in the Mojave desert. June/July: AMRA […]
Update on the Barstow/BLM road closures. We spent much of today on the phone with attorney’s, County Supervisors, other elected folks, the media and our own staff. Not to mention dealing with an injured pup, our boy Charlie. He’s going to be OK, but man do I hate wasps. We are leaving for […]
Update on the Barstow/BLM road closure issue. We have not had our final conference with the BLM. We pushed the call to tomorrow so we can review some final legal documents. We have all of the management plans, the lawsuit filed by, you guessed it…Center for Biological Diversity which started this whole road and land […]
