Several years ago we were having breakfast in our favorite cafe in Lone Pine CA. Though we were only there a few time a year the owners always recognized us and treated us well. They told us they had just sold the business because many of the trails & roads they had moved there to enjoy were being closed. They hosted off road events and brought tens of thousands of dollars to the area. That won't happen with hikers getting 2-3 miles onto the area. It is happening all over the West because a few noisy city people think the local people don't care about the place they live. Way over 90% of the US population lives in a few cities. Those people control the federal government and hundreds of millions of acres of land that they will never see. Look at what is going on in this country TODAY (11/16/23) and tell me the people who love this country are not the peaceful ones. There are sad time ahead.
