Stop screaming, Jennifer. Laughing Bear heard you and quoted you correctly the first time.
You and Ranger Nelson are the outspoken critics of this fence. You must have an inside operative that has given you assurance of your prediction.
Is Ranger Nelson's favored fencing project around Bowen Ranch exempt or are you demanding that Mike Castro's fences (on public land) come down also?
Warning: Check with Ranger Nelson before answering, as he is known to react strongly to opposition.
You and Mike Castro must have a powerful ally. Mike Castro's NIMBYism is the reason J1299 is the WEMO proposed replacement for Moss Mill Rd. as the Juniper Flats/USFS OHV connector. If you question that, check the Federal Record for the (unenforced) current Emergency Route Network. Mike doesn't seem to want OHV routes in his back yard, although he is an avid dirt biker.
And as far as equestrians go, they are generally a respectable group. However, as in the OHV crowd, there are sociopaths. These "good old boys" resent all fences, and believe that private land should be open range.
Their charity does not extend to their own postage stamp property, which affords just enough room to tie up their horse and hang their weekend hat.
