Another Crazies Land Swap?
100% of the problem with this process is that you are deciding what "substantive" is. The public decides what "substantive" is. Those comments are going to PCEC's P.O. Box, not a public agency (state or federal) with accountability and transparency in the process, and they can throw...- katqanna

Another Crazies Land Swap?
"The current east side proposal is the perfect time for the public to draw a line and demand what is rightfully ours. Montanans will happily negotiate trail relocation, but only after our public rights are recognized on existing trails." These are the groups that signed on to this oped (pretty...- katqanna

Another Crazies Land Swap?
Misdirect to obfuscate much? Royston is asking about funding for the website, the open houses, printed material, flyers with the PCEC P.O. Box. We already know about the Yellowstone money for the trail and such. BTW, March 20, 2020 CV-00066-SPW-TJC Memorandum In Support of Motion To File...- katqanna

Who is funding the Crazy Mountain Access Project? "The above loophole in state campaign finance law allows the Crazy Mountain Access Project to keep the public in the dark about its funding sources. I was able to verify, however, this group has the same postal address used by the Park County...- katqanna

Another Crazies Land Swap?
Per someone at the Livingston meeting last night, those tabling the event stated the Sweet Grass Trail #122 is open to the public now and has never been limited. This is absolutely not true that the landowners have not limited public access. From my Forest Service documents I have a copy of...- katqanna

Another Crazies Land Swap?
Sweet Grass #122 is already being litigated, it has been part of our lawsuit from the beginning, just as the West side trail #267 and #195 has been. Speaking of which, here is a question, perhaps an inconvenient question for some. If the public didn't have access on the west side, Porcupine...- katqanna

Below are the tip of the iceberg points that the working group pr is not informing the public about. I've also included a satellite image of the existing trails in orange and purple, versus the proposed reroutes in red. The 2nd image is the trail from Big Timber Canyon road, zigzagging upward...- katqanna

Another Crazies Land Swap?
Yes, it is another component of the incredible, shrinking Crazy Mountains. Two men, not the working group, gave a presentation to our lawsuit coalition in February, on the condition that we not speak about it until they finalized it, then gave it to the working group to submit the proposal to...- katqanna

Crazy Mountains Public Access & FS Management Lawsuit Filed Today
I just got an email from FWP. Thankfully, they reviewed the easements I sent them, got approval from all needed and submitted an amendment to their comment to the Forest Service. FWP provided a pdf of their amendment, which I am attaching here. "Because there is access in both sections, we wish...- katqanna

Crazy Mountains Public Access & FS Management Lawsuit Filed Today
I have been downloading all the public comments submitted on the land exchange projects, since the FS took them down a couple days after on the Porcupine Relocation project. I saw FWP submitted a comment: I contacted the writer to let them know that there is public access here, offered to...- katqanna

Crazy Mountains Public Access & FS Management Lawsuit Filed Today
In my comments, I expressed concern for the CMR water rights - "The CMR will permanently reserve rights to operate and maintain the Rock Lake dam and outlet tunnel in the deed through which CMR conveys Section 11 to the Forest Service. CMR would retain its water rights for the volume of water...- katqanna

Crazy Mountains Public Access & FS Management Lawsuit Filed Today
I have been TBI delayed from getting this webpage finished on the South Crazy Mountains Land Exchange Proposal, for weeks. So it does not have as in depth of a break down as I normally do. I did focus on details that others have not addressed as much, with the documentation to go with it, such...- katqanna

The Passing of a Montana Conservation & Public Access Warrior
You're welcome. You are right about our Stream access too often taken for granted. After a conversation with him, I worked up a detailed history, including Tony (the pic of him on the Big Hole with Roy), so that younger people would know how it was fought for and some of who did the fighting...- katqanna

The Passing of a Montana Conservation & Public Access Warrior
You're welcome. I loved Tony's passion. He was one of the few that wasn't shocked, or tried to correct my (being female) cussing about conservation/privatization bullshit. He laughed the first time and said he guessed he didn't have to watch his tongue then. And he didn't. 😂- katqanna
