Stop Midas Gold Closing Public Roads

The Issue

Problem
Midas Gold is destroying public access to public lands. Including Stibnite Road to Thunder Mountain from Yellow Pine, Sugar Creek Road to Cinnabar from Stibnite, and the Old Powerline Road from Johnson Creek to Meadow Creek.

Solution
Keep public roads open to the public.

Personal story
My family moved to Yellow Pine in 1983. We moved to Idaho because of the wide open spaces and recreational opportunities. Now, Midas Gold, in conjunction with the Forest Service and Valley County, are closing main public roads that locals have been using for nearly a hundred years.
