Second Grass Tour Questions BLM Science
Battle Mountain BLM District Manager Doug Furtado’s order of July 23 that ranchers remove their cattle from Mount Lewis has spurred the ranchers and their supporters to carry their fight to remove Furtado from office to Washington, D.C., via the Grass March and Cowboy Express.
“I know we can do it,” declared Elko County Commissioner Grant Gerber. “After the experience we had with the Grass March and Cowboy Express going from Elko to Carson City in May, we now know that we could leave next week and make it to Washington in approximately twenty days. That shakedown ride was over 10 percent of the distance to Washington.”
“We will need a lot of volunteer riders and horses, but we know we can get it done,” agreed Jess Jones.
These riders will be riding to the governor's mansion on monday Sept. 29, 2014 to bring this issue straight to the governor's front door!!!
