Unfenced. A Race to Keep the Red Desert Wild. VIDEO
While we all focus on our kit for the upcoming ski touring season here in Canada, there's a pre-election rumble south of the border that has our American friends and cousins concerned.The space on this little page can't communicate the magnitude of what is at stake, but we can share a cool video that profiles one of the key issues. The Red Desert is a zone in southwest Wyoming that has become a battle zone of sorts. Pressure from the oil and gas lobby is currently shaping how the Bureau of Land Management administers this unique landscape.
Several Wyoming conservation groups banded together and hosted a trail run that was part activism, part athletic/fun comp. This is the story. Thanks to Patagonia for putting this, and so much other related and excellent content, out.
Oh... and if you are an American citizen, don't forget to vote on November 3.
