This article by our good friends at Free Range Report is one we will be following intensely over the course of this litigation.
We talk all the time about road closures by USFS, BLM and how environmental groups sue, fight, protest and influence the decisions to close your lands.
This case, while not directly related to small mining, is using the 1866 mining act to keep a road open.
Thank you Marjorie Haun for creating the Free Range Report, and if you don’t follow and subscribe to her site and FB page, please do.
