If you really are interested in doing some good, then I would
suggest you join the DivideTrail Patrol (affiliated with the Divide
Horsemen's Assn) and work with them on communicating constructively with
the BLM. If you "take them on" and "don't let this go" then you
are going to do nothing but make horsemen look like complainers who do
not play well with others (which sadly is often the case). Forget
the "enlightening politics," the political fact is that the BLM
controls Cronan Ranch, the BLM suffers from budget problems and the BLM
cannot babysit trail users. If we become a problem, the solution
is to remove us. And *that* is what Gail was nicely trying to
say.
