Re: Question for Mary

Look Wizard,

the trail that you and I worked on years ago does not lead directly to the hot springs. You and I made some Minor improvements to it, which benefited us. The hillside benefited to, the cattle in the backcountry out there tended to remain on the trail which helped in any further errosion to it. Today the hillside appears in great shape! You know that!

Now let's discuss the other trail off JF3. No matter who built it and / or who improved it, it's basically no good for the preservation of the hot springs. Why you ask?! Because was it not you that wrote a 3 page novel on the details off an illegally made trail?! Remember you posted it in April 2002 and titled it: "Someone to Blame" You further went into detail of how to asscess the trail for all to use. You invited the world to wonder out there in backcountry. You furhtermore slammed Mike and I about our dislike of it. Remember you got mad at me and proceeded to escort me out of your home that sunny afternoon, remember?!!

Again, I'll repeat myself, of what positive benefit is it for the hot springs to endorse a trail like the one we are discussing? In what way are you helping the hot springs out?

In a recent discussion with Mike at the ranch, he informed me that he is now being asked to help some of the folks wondering into the backcountry, because of their vehicles breaking down or someone got lost, someone getting hurt and / or any combination. Do you think he wants to do that?!! If you answer "yes" you're Wrong!! He wants no part of it!! Why? Because now he's forced into going out there late at night not knowing how things will turn out.
Because of his concerns know, he went to speak with the sheriff in town and explained the situation of what he is faced with. The sheriff gave instructed Mike to carry a gun with him when wondering into backcountry at anytime of day for any reason while back there.

If you're going to write a 3-page novel Wizard, do it on some subject matter that will help in the preservation of the hot springs not in it's destruction of it. Peace brother!
