Voted 10/10 | Maybe all the SPers could take up a collection to raise the $400K... | |

Voted 10/10 | I wish the state of Texas would step up to the plate and buy them. So little private land in Texas. I don't see any problem with posting this page either. There are others on SP like it. | |

Voted 10/10 | Daa! I hate privately owned/restricted mountains... We have some issues with them here in Oklahoma. Very well done page, you have disclaimed it well. | |

Voted 10/10 | I agree with Super Dave, we should all go in on it. I'm in for $150. That's one hundred, not one hundred thousand. And I think it is great that people post mountains that require permission to climb as long as there is a disclaimer. | |

| mvs | why I couldn't live in Texas | |
Hasn't voted | Texas just frustrates the hell out of me. If you want to hike in many areas of the state you have to trespass. And everyone is so damn proud about how they'd shoot you for it. Landowners are such freedom lovers, they soak up all the freedom for miles around. I'll never understand it... It's where I grew up, and was happy to leave. Ok, end rant. | |

| MikeTX | October 2007 Update | |
Hasn't voted | I believe this is the latest on this issue: http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/local/10/13/1013bigbend.html It appears that NPS has indicated some interest. The problem is that our jackass of a land commissioner doesn't want to deal with them, because they don't allow hunting on national park lands. I gotta say, as a native Texan, I'm pretty disgusted with this. So far, the highest bid for the whole mountain range (9000 acres) is only about $600k. I don't care what anybody says, this deal is about an elected official giving a deer lease to one of his hunting buddies. | |

Hasn't voted | Thx for the update. I did read about all this on the bigbendchat page. The whole situation is rotten, I sense, which is unfortunate. I guess we can combine the Christmas Range with the Chinatis and create a "No Access Permanently In Limbo" State Park..... | |
