I for one will try to contact Secretary Zinke and thank him for showing such interest in our slice of Heaven

Love that he refers to our area a God's Country - I have always said it is.

Nice to have a Secretary of Interior who recognizes it and more who cares what WE want, not what DC wants....

I can't express how thankful I am to the people of Utah for the hospitality and to the press for following us through the rain. #GodsCountry pic.twitter.com/LUTE3G3OF5

With trail off to left...I was thinking the same thing.

It would be Rainbow!!! Did you get to go along for the ride? I think it is the first time we have had an Int Sec actually come see what he is regulating!

 

[Waterbaby]

Just so he knows Rainbow Bridge is in Glen Canyon, not Escalante Staircase......

 

[Dale]

Didn't you tell him?

 

[Waterbaby]

Didn't you tell him?

How would I tell him? I posted his tweets from this week as he toured the area. I follow him on Twitter.

Pretty cool picture (s)

 

[Bill Sampson]

Is it just my eyes or does the first picture I posted look like Rainbow Bridge?

Yes it dos look like Rainbow Bridge.

Terrific to see him take an interest and conduct onsite intel. The horseback tour gives him even more cred.

Yes, agreed. Talking with the people that live there and not special interest.

Thousands of years ago, lightning struck exposed coal. Today the fire burns hundreds of feet underground. #geology is pretty cool, kids.

We need to preserve and save this. Natural burning of fossil fuels.
