Those are good concerns. Maybe it needs more restroom facilities at the trailheads. It looks like there are bathrooms every 5 miles but People are allowed to shit in the woods though provided that move far away from water sources and the trail.

I've never been to this trail but it seems to be world renowned. And the issues you raised aren't unique to trails, they can happen in neighborhoods too.

My specific point is related to preserved farmlands in suburbia not allowing sidewalks or paths through the edges of their property because their hands are tied by the law, not that they wouldn't support the cause.

Through? No. Adjacent to? Along the edge of? Don't conflate my intention was a path down the middle of a farm with a trail along the existing right away along existing roads.

Yes, you can change laws and have them apply retroactively. Laws can be written to include just this. It's a land use that improves the life of the residents in the area. It allows alternative transportation options. Obviously every case would be different but to allow o&g ops, it's clearly not about preserving food production and moreso reducing housing development. It's clear that pedestrian trails need a better lobbyist.

Counties and municipalities seek easements on private property all the time. This is nothing new. So your "private property" point doesn't really make sense. I'm not asking for eminent domain.

But wait you can drill for oil and gas.

>Oil and Gas Extraction

The Agriculture Area Security Law specifically contemplates the extraction of oil and gas from restricted land, together with the necessity of the “appurtenant facilities related to…oil or gas development or activities incident to the removal or development of such minerals.” The exploration and/or extraction of oil and gas on eased land by a third–party holder of subsurface mineral rights is normally accomplished through a right-of-way agreement, oil and gas lease, or easement. An owner of restricted land, or an applicant to sell an agricultural conservation easement, would not be in violation of the deed of easement simply by virtue of having entered into oil and gas exploration by allowing the extraction of these minerals from the land. The oil and gas lease normally “reserves” the necessary or useful surface rights and privileges for the underground storage of gas, the right of ingress and egress, the right to erect temporary buildings, tanks, towers, stations, or other structures for surface support for the subsurface extraction of oil and gas. None of these reservations would necessarily violate the terms of the deed of agricultural conservation easement or Agricultural Area Security Law.

They have to know my DL # and social.

How many instances like this happened last year? For sure it would be spread far and wide by election deniers.

Provisional ballots are thoroughly investigated and cleared. Almost all "They voted for me" cases were with people with the same names.
