Greetings my friends.. lest you think I have retired from backpacking quite the opposite is true. I’ve been on several trips in the past couple of months, most notably the dolly sods, the smokies, and citico/ slick Rock. I tend to post more stuff on Instagram than here nowadays. However I thought I would touch base since a lot of people still come over here and check in. It is turning out to be a beautiful Fall, I think the leaves are going to be spectacular . (Bobs bald last weekend)
Something that I think is incredibly important is that the Trump administration is now planning to allow logging and roads cut on formerly roadless wilderness areas. This is an abomination but not a surprise coming from the likes of these politicians. Public comments were overwhelmingly opposed to this but they’re doing it anyway.. sound familiar? f you vote Republican then you need to be aware that they’re stripping and raping our environment.. this isn’t a both sides issue. If you’re an outdoorsman and MAGA then your ideals are at odds with each other.
And what I find to be the greatest surprise is that most of my MAGA friends have no idea about this. That’s because Fox News doesn’t cover it. And if you receive your news via Fox then there’s several other problems you to take a look at. Just the same way I would tell someone if they received all their news via CNN they have a problem.
Corporate media is the problem. Did you know that we have increased the billionaire class in the United States almost greater percentage wise than any other. And the reason our government is shut down is because they want to take healthcare from people like me so the billionaires can have a bigger tax cut. That and the fact they don’t want to release the full Epstein files. And we know why that is
finally I’m sharing a link to an interview from WBIR about the people that were stranded on Everest last week. They’re kind enough to ask my opinion on the subject.
