People like Mr. Hubbell seem to forget the meaning of terms like "Public Lands." Or how about "National Forests," "Federal Lands" is another good one. Perhaps I'm mistaken but this country was founded on the premise that the power of the "government" was to be in the hands of the people. That is, that we the people are the Federal Government and the lands are ours. The bureaucrats mistakenly believe that they make the rules! (Just as an aside, the vast majority of archeological discoveries of the last two centuries were made by or funded by "amateurs," not archeologists.)
