Some of this posting has gotten downright toxic. I'm with you, Bob.
We are in the middle of a global pandemic. Local land managers are all trying to not stick out their necks. The Inyo National forest is suffering from decades of underfunding and understaffing. Local politicians make decisions for the health and safety of their local constituents. It sucks, but really, what's with the name-calling and irateness? Find some love and grace.
