Strong letter: Public land access

We need all the senators, representatives and county commissioners to step forward and help us to keep access to our National Forests, State and BLM roads through private property where access has, up until now with the Texas billionaires, been allowed.

These guys are putting up gates on roads that historically have had easements across them, either in writing or by verbal agreements, so we the public can get to and enjoy our public lands.

Please step forward and help us solve this mess.

Rob Strong, New Meadows
