   CindY: re"please, don't use your political muscle to force a
New England (or any other region) lifestyle on westerners"...well,remember,that 
public land belongs to her,and to me in Va.,as well,and to you.Part of the 
reason people love living in the west is the benefit  of access to land they 
didn't have to buy. So,your beloved western lifestyle depends to some extent on 
what I and others are providing you. More power to you;I hope you are having a 
ball.But if your lifestyle is changed in some way you don't like, by "all the 
people",including people from the coasts for ANY reason,rational or 
otherwise....this is not unfair to you.My horse owning buddy in Montana has 
60,000 acres of public land adjoining his property line.That's why he bought 
the place.Pretty nice deal for him,provided by all of us!

===========================================================The whole ride 
experience can be very hard, and at times you question why
you put yourself through such abuse. But then you remember all those
moments when you pop up over a hill and are suddenly surrounded by the most
stunning views.  It's just you and your horse and for a moment time stops
and you can hear the angels sing.  Therein lies the addiction, at least for
me.
