So I just read an article where the Shoshone NF is likely in spot where it is complaining about lack of funding...

They are proposing to close all 32 campsites for next summer due to $2M (of their $14M budget) being sidetracked to manage Beetle Kill trees in the Snowy's (SE Wyoming/Northern Colorado).

Not sure if it will actually occur, or if it is posturing at the moment. But in any case, this would be sad for our area, but probably improve the fishing... However, it would likely have a negative impact on much of the land and increased chance for fire due to dispersed camping being allowed anywhere on state lands.

Also, I find it interesting, as they have just spent millions of dollars to pave a road that nobody wanted paved over the past couple of years. (This was pre-Obama money)

*sigh*
