Antero Bible"(comparing this find to something as good as the Bible:)) well heck ya..this is an awesome book..extremely in-depth..well written..all the info you could ever need..it's older written in the 80's but still an excellent read...what is the collecting status on Antero and White mtns. now?

They had no clue. There is BLM - 3 miles away, but to access it, you have to go down Oak Creek Grade (unless you have permission from a property owner to access the common area). They thought that since their maps showed BLM where my land sits, they had the right to access it even though it was totally enclosed by private property (which they need permission to cross, plus permission from a property owner to be on the ranch in the first place). They even started to threaten me, but the older gentleman backed the younger ones down. Once he understood that there was no BLM, that was it, though it took several minutes to get to that point. I directed them to the SWA (several miles down the road), and informed them that the parking area to that was also on private land, and that they needed written permission to use it (but they could park on the side of the public road that ran by it, and hop the fence.) He apologized, but the younger guys just gave me very dirty looks. Next time, well, I hope there's no next time. I now have numbers for a few locals on the ranch who are VERY persuasive, and scary to boot!
