Mountain Loop Opening Delayed

[Layback]

The Pilchuck Audubon Society, notorious for closing FS Roads, is trying to get the MLH shut down permanently despite the fact that it is now complete. We are trying to mobilize over on NWHikers.net. Please read the story and take action:

Um, pretend I am stupid, or lazy (ok both) how and where to respond?

Can you give me a link so I can just click on it and tell the stupid and lazy SOBs that salmon are NOT an endangered species, and the should just OPEN THE DAMN ROAD! OK!

 

[Layback]

Don't get me wrong. I care deeply about the salmon also. You need to read between the lines here. Had the work not been done in the fall it would have been more detrimental to the salmon population than if the workers just said, gee, nothing we can do because of regulations and let the whole damn thing take out thr salmon nests. There are alterior motives at play here. This is the audobon society. They care about birding on the MLH and cars mean no birds. Hence this argument they have cooked up.

 

Please don't be a sheep.

Layback, I think he's looking for a link to some sort of organized response to this proposal, not just the Herald article.

[Off_White]

Yeah, just look at the guy on the right who is the source of the complaint, you can tell he's looking for birds.

Chinook Salmon and Bull Trout, both on the ES list, both in the Stilly, no?

[Fairweather]

Like these?

 

 

C'mon. Corrupting The ESA to impose one's social will is the worst kind of subterfuge. And the primary reason The Act should be repealed and revamped.

It's my understanding

http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/mbs/recreation/special/byways/mtnloop_byway.shtml

that the highway is interrupted only for a couple of miles north of Barlow Pass. There's not any access that's prevented, is there? It's only that you can't make the scenic drive all the way around.
