National Grasslands

locals tell me the first bridge he built washed away

I know someone who crossed the bridge. Nice guy.

wonder if there are any trolls living under it!

It was'nt about the blogger. We know where he stands. It is about what this guy done on BLM land. Maybe we all can build some cabins for hunting on gov. land just because we want to.

Improvements can be made to BLM lands if proper procedures are followed.........anyone know if they were?

and for you sensitive people that was NOT an insinuation that anyone that sometimes uses the hashtag deal with his name was who left the bad rep.......

On our last trip, maybe ten years ago now, we stopped short of the bridge (which wasn’t there yet) at my friend Curly Haugland’s ranch, which is about three miles west.

For several years Curly Haugland was the Chairman of the NDGOP National Committee. I can picture Haugland smiling at Fuglie not saying much. He knows Fuglie drives up a bunch of gas from Bismarck to and around the Badlands every month looking for a story why gas shouldn't be produced in the Badlands.

More can be gleaned from Jim's Prairie Blog site concerning why the County Commissioners want to build on section lines. Fuglie writes:

In a major victory for conservationists, and for the North Dakota Bad Lands they work hard to protect, U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland of Bismarck ruled this week that the state of North Dakota and four western North Dakota counties have no right to go in and build roads in areas of the Little Missouri National Grasslands which have been inventoried as “roadless areas” and identified as “suitable for wilderness designation.”

The agenda for the county commissioners from the oil patch was different. They wanted to stop a movement by conservationists to get official wilderness designation for about 50,000 of those roadless areas, a proposal called Prairie Legacy Wilderness. If the lawsuit was successful they’d send their graders and scrapers in there and build some roads, and take care of those pesky conservationists and their wild ideas.

Well thank you Jim. Things are a little more clear. It seems the elected County Commissioners and landowners in the Grasslands are trying to get ahead of a wilderness designation.

I've talked about this before. Wildlife Society lobbyist Mike McEnroe, the Badlands Conservation Alliance had notables like Senator Connie Triplet from Grand Forks (Natural Resources Committee) touring the badlands burning up a bunch of gas looking for suitable wilderness designation areas to make them off limits to gas exploration. Trouble is, Senator Triplet lost her re-election bid to a young upstart Republican.

So you want more roads

So you want more roads

I believe (and I may be wrong so please correct me if I am)it is about improving existing roads for better access and only very limited "new" construction.

So it comes down to two track trails or maintained roads suitable for oil development infrastructure.

The question I could pose here is do you want further govt control thru wilderness designations that end promised multiple uses on these public lands?

How much could be the question.

In essence it boils down to are you okay with orgs pushing the govt to break it's promises?

I guess I still like that mutually acceptable agreement idea.

and for the record I think that agreement should contain some untouched areas.

I'm not sure anymore. But the # sand was clever. I might have to steal that.

 

[guywhofishes]

hashtag sand? I don't get it.

- - - Updated - - -

ha ha ha. When this twitter BS got started I would always read the hashtags as "pound" - whatever was written. My college age kids were always embarrassed/confused that I would say "pound" rather than "hashtag".

Of course I still do it today just to antagonize them as often as possible. They laugh now.

So you want more bridges

fixed it

I got those to # sand for no reason this spring when I wasn't even posting on that topic or what I said was not even negative post of any sort just commenting on the subject. It was a note from a secret admirer oh well can't appease everyone on here. I just wish they would ignore me then give ooo out meaningless reps. Only reason I bring it up is I didn't know what it meant until I google it.

Guy,

# is originally known as the pound sign.

In the Corps, a well used expression was to tell someone to go "pound sand", rather than telling them to titty sprinkle off.

nvrmnd, I just fully read your post.

 

[PrairieGhost]

Ya I got a rep with a pound sign. I have paid so little attention I'm not sure how you tell a negative rep from a positive rep. I'm guessing it's red and green, but I don't see red well. Thank goodness I usually have help blood tracking.

Its a pound sign, the Brits can kiss my ass with their stupid hashtag slang

 

[1bigfokker]

What does pounding sand have to do with the grasslands? V should start a political sand pounder category.

 

[Rowdie]

BTW what is the defn of Hashtag?

 

[eyexer]

been starting to hear some grumbling that if we don't get some significant rain before the bow opener they may close the national grasslands to hunters.
