Unfenced | A Race to Keep the Red Desert Wild 

,@discorperted you too are an invasive species

I’ve never had this outlook before. That is comforting. Thanks.

While that sounds nice, it feels a bit like giving up!

You also got a point

@@biketoeverything I know what you mean. It is more of a 'if all else fails' statement.

Unfortunately it's the same for everyone who lives in the countryside, change for the worst everywhere. I live in the mountains in Andalucia, rainfall is very low now. Good luck to you and all of us. At least we don't live in cities.

I'm so sorry ❤

And Lynette Grey Bull is running against Cheney for the at-large House seat! She's committed to protecting the Red Desert!

Using drones is prohibited in Wilderness Areas designated by Congress. But Wilderness Study Areas are not subject to the same protections, since WSAs are designated by the BLM, not congress.. While we wait for Congress to act, WSAs are subject only to BLM regulations, not the full protections of the Wilderness Act. BLM prohibits launching or landing drones inside the WSAs, but overflights are not prohibited. As long as you launch a drone from outside the WSA boundaries, keep the drone within sight of the operator and avoid harassing wildlife, it's OK to fly a drone over a Wilderness Study Area. Drone footage like we saw here is a magnificent way to share these wild places with our fellow Americans, whose support will be needed to provide longer term protections.

As (I'm assuming hopefully) the proceeds from the entry fee goes to a worthwhile cause, that's a good problem to have then, yeah?

"I'd kill for clean air."-I don't want to be the one to spoil the plot, but that's called "foreshadowing."

@discorperted that is out of context.

@discorperted how irrelevant

@@tomomt99 you're not wrong. The vision Roosevelt had has been changed. It's a true loss for the Americans as a whole.

@discorperted I share mostly the same viewpoint, however there are companies and politicians that try. Listen to MeatEater episode 241 Pebble Mine.

Is it Adobe Town? Or the Honeycomb Buttes? I'd love to take a run through wilderness like that!

Honeycomb.

While the Honeycomb Buttes are right next to Adobe Town, the landscapes couldn't be more different. Both places lend themselves to drone footage, though: an hour of drone footage can show you more of the badlands than you could see on foot in a week. That said, if you have a week to spend in these areas on foot, you won't be willing to trade that experience for drone footage! 🙂

discorperted Yvon is a hero of mine because he proves you can be successful in business and maintain your values. I would love to meet him some day. I’m a peon who was influenced by Ed Abbey.

@discorperted I have a red Patagonia jacket that is 37 years old. Patagonia has given me products that last and that have kept me from replacing them. This as lessened my impact on our environment. We also need people like you who question and who don't march lock stepped to some inane bullshit cadence.

@discorperted I watched a Patagonia movie that implied the value of the outdoors was to be an amusement park for people with $4,000 mountain bikes manufacture with exotic metals. I saw Moab before Mtn bikes and I have seen the damage these bikes have caused. Why the groupie scene. The Wet has thousands of miles of existing unimproved road. Kane Creek in Moab has been trashed by industrial tourism, Patagonia seems to promote.
