Tell me if you would like the mountains of Cali, Co, New Mexico ect..ect.. to look like this...
There is a reason the govt has bought up much of this land. It's to protect it from what has happened on the East Coast.. Not to mention to keep people from living in places we can't afford to irrigate.. It's a shame that some of you are so short sighted.. |
That's odd. I've driven from California to Montana dozens of times in the past decade, and yet never seen this... Not even once.
