I’m a long time member of Daily Kos but don’t post much. I’m also lucky to live in Durango, CO, on the edge of the Colorado Plateau and have hiked, backpacked, and explored the desert southwest for over 30 years. Bears Ears National Monument and Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument are unique in the world and deserve protection. They are our public lands and what the human stain has done is unprecedented. Five years ago I picked up a camera and started taking pictures, here are a small sample of some of the images I’ve taken. All images were taken by me and are owned by me, all are from either Bears Ears NM
or Grand Staircase Escalante NM. These are special places; don’t forget to call your congressperson, and then call them again. I love this land and would be glad to answer any questions anyone may have. (It’s too bad I’m able to upload only a few images because I have so many more.)
