Happy Public Lands Day!

Happy Public Lands Day! Public lands are pretty critical, pretty significant, pretty vital. It’s one of the main reasons I’ll never live east of New Mexico again. I need room to roam, as we all do, even if you aren’t aware of it. It’s a necessity for the human spirit. I’m grateful for the public lands we have, even if they aren’t managed all that well. Cattle grazing, oil drilling, clear cuts, etc. It’s a huge issue and it’s really unacceptable to rape our land this way.  It terrifies me what’s going on with the public land grab these days. 
I’m lucky that I have public land within a few miles of my house and that I get to work on/in these incredible areas.   About 30% of land in the US is public, which isn’t nearly enough. For a history on public lands, check out this link .  If you’re into freedom, public lands = freedom.  I don’t love sharing exact locations, but all these photos are from wilderness areas in (from top to bottom) Arizona, Montana, Wyoming, and Nevada. All glorious .
