Today on my way home from working in Sierra Vista I decided to stop and look around one of my hunting spots, and to check a windmill. I found the gate locked with two locks, one with EPNG stamped on it and the other with KN on it. I believe they stand for El Paso Natural Gas and Kinder Morgan. My complaint is what law is on the books that allows any person or entity to lock access to state trust land?
I called the number on the sign and left a message, hopefully I will hear back tomorrow.
I talked to Matt Walton the other day and he has come up with a plan to take to State Land Dept. that we believe will have an answer for every contingency and possible excuse they might come up with. We should also have the backing from ADOT and DPS as fare as the dangers from keeping the gate locked. I will post our victory when it comes.
