So I went out in the rain to do some scouting. I went waaay out back country in CNF. The roads stayed in good condition, but were a little slippery. No washouts (as I had expected). It was a nice drive...
There is a large piece of CNF I was trying to access that has many roads going to it, but they are all blocked of by private gates that read something like this: "Access prohibited, must have owner's permission" "Trespassers will be shot, Survivors will be shot again." The CNF atlas map booklet says that they are public roads with no gates (where other gates are clearly demarked with a red slash). My question is this: are these gates legit? Isn't there such a thing as public easement?
These roads pass through a lot of private land on the way there, so I don't understand why they are randomly gated (and not on the map).
Here is a flock I saw on the way over, and a bobcat...
