Made it home, never thought my tiny apt. Would look so good. And warm.
Gary, if the pipeline is so safe and helps the grass grow as your pictures show why did Bismarck protest it so vocally that it was re-routed thru the reservation upriver of where they get their water? As far as "Sacred Land" and casinoe's ; have you seen the fine land they were given when their original land was 'Approprated'? Cruise thru the Black Hills enjoy the scenery, there is none. They don't claim the casinos are on sacred land, just tribal land, there is actually a difference.
When I decided to go it wasn't a political issue or too much about the pipeline, I am not naive enough to think it won't be built, money cures everything for most people. When attack dogs are set on people who weren't doing anything except blocking access to machinery and as it turns out the security firm hired by the pipeline company was and is not licensed in any state. You may think that's okay, it's your right. I didn't.
If I wasted my time in doing something you don't approve of that's on you. Not me. It was my time, my gas and my business. I'm not sure why you decided to comment at this late date and don't care. I made every effort not to be political.
The LaBrea Tar Pits Vs. this pipeline? Fine example. PM me if you want to discuss it.
It was a learning experience for me, I met some good people, slept in a yurt and learned bits of a new language. Had an interesting conversation with a couple of local cops as we were leaving, I'll pass that on when I am not so tired.
Be Safe, Rob
