Every day, this administration comes up with new ways to destroy the environment. Now the US Forest Service is allowing motorized vehicles on all trails, and off trail, if, you know, you need to. Think of the wildfires from stray sparks, disruption to plants and wildlife, and disruption to the peaceful enjoyment of nature. These guys are the epitome of evil.

At least some of the aircraft were DIVERTED from efforts to contain #wildfires elsewhere in the state‼️‼️, according to 2 agency officials & the Post analysis of the flight paths.

Communications reviewed by The Washington Post sent during the response to the blaze corroborate that Boren personally directed #USFS staff to address the Cabin Creek Fire.

In total, about 9 aircraft, including helicopters, air tankers & tactical planes, responded to the fire ‼️ on July 12, acc/to an analysis of flight paths, part of an effort that lasted a few hours & cost nearly $115,000 in federal money [ #TaxpayersMoney ] ‼️. The analysis found that these assets traveled from across the West to Idaho’s Alturas Lake, near where the Cabin Creek Fire was burning.

In those calls, according to the #USFS official with knowledge of the situation, Boren pushed for more aircraft to fight the fire even though “it was easily accessible by ground,” the official said.

He “was on the phone calling people that day asking why there weren’t more resources on the fire & when there was going to be more,” the official said.

which visited the old Guard Station location and then climbed to the fire lookout location. Only one is still standing and none were entered.

“Too often, federal decisions that affect our homelands are made without the engagement of the North Slope #Inupiat, the people these decisions will affect the most,” said Nagruk Harcharek, president of Voice of the #Arctic Inupiat, which represents Inupiat leadership organizations on the #NorthSlope & supports #oil & #gas projects.

The group supports allowing oil & gas projects in the region….

Just a little flowing water in the desert and other minor walks in the big (pop nearly 1k!) city of Caliente, Nevada.

I stopped by an old corral to make a trailless hike to the highest point of the Fat South Egans Wilderness. It is a rugged place, but folks have discovered a route that is very straightforward right to the top.

My second day backpacking the South Egan Range Wilderness, I climbed up the high point in the morning. That's Adams benchmark. Then I got back to Ninemile Canyon for water, then traveled down to Sheep Pass Canyon and found camp on a small branch.
