Wondering what all the fuss is about out West with the land grab issues? Columnist Glen Carter explores the topic.
Update July 4th, 2000, Jarbidge, NV: In a determined expression of rebellion, a group of patriots removed a government blockade of a county road. The "Shovel Brigade" members attacked the debris, that was piled on the road by the US Forestry Service (USFS) in an attempt to block access to a campground, using only shovels and horse teams. Although hundreds were in attendance, the event was non-violent and the adjacent Jarbidge River, a stream ten feet wide by six inches deep, was fully protected from damage during
the work. As always, my opinions are mine alone, and not the responsibility of my employer or any other group.
