I and a few buddies have a favorite place to camp up this canyon
some private and some BLM land.We notice that others had been leaving trash piled up at the entrance to the canyon road.(no not all over the place but in one spot)We all take turns packing out are trash and keep it better than we left it.But this year a big steel pipe gate and a large steel fence running for miles in eather direction and a sign that read CLOSED TO PUBLIC ACCESS.This was the only way to my friends property.We went down to the county hall and found out that this was a county road and could not be closed to public access.Now keep in mind we had poured a
cement pad and put four trash cans (animal proof type) there.
But through asking around it seems like the BLM didn't like hauling out the trash,the few times when others didn't do it for them.
Now if that isn't bad enough! It seems that they did not take into consideration that small animals can't jump or climb a fence.
and the wire they used was trapping small animals.We took the pictures of this down to county hall and showed them.It took six monthes but the Gate is gone, the fences are down.Why can't they work with the public?Instead of closeing it off too the pulblic as there own land.Now I'm not a enviromenlist by any means but
we all try hard to keep our public lands clean.And I hate the serria club!But the BLM can kiss my axial!!!!! Its our land not there"s
 

the government hard at work. the best part , is that your tax dollars paid for that gate and fence to be put up and then taken back down. talk about a waste of money. i guess thats just how they do things. :'(
 

Some hunters tried to do the same thing in rural Alabama on a county road where they owned the land on both sides of the road. The problem is there is a cemetery down that same road and it is one of the few access to a boat ramp to the river. My relatives when to the court raising all sorts of heck and the gate came down and the road is open to this day. There is still bad blood between the hunters and the folks that like to fish over access roads to the river. Thirty years ago there were no gated roads, today there are few non-gated roads. Sad but true.
