    Why is it OK to shut down hundreds of acres to all use because of a small area of plants someone is fond of. Why can't they be protected by fences.

    Barricades were recently put up in the Carranza area that block ALL entry, not just motorized vehicles. Wings to these barricades are tight to the surrounding vegetation at obvious choke points, preventing hikers, bicycles and horses entry, all supposedly legal activities. You can get in if you...
