Save The Hoback

Image
 The deeper we dig the more and MORE interesting stuff we uncover.  We had no idea that the Upper Hoback River was such a hotly contested area or that the natural gas drilling was staved off.  It's quite a story.  We think it's possible drive out and camp in some of that purple area--maybe on Cliff Creek Road.  Hopefully, we will get to see some of the "rescued lands". For a decent short video of the area and the campaign see: https://youtu.be/jq0RwHyFsUw?feature=shared As the southern anchor of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem—the largest intact temperate natural system in the Northern Hemisphere—the Hoback Basin is home to magnificent mountains, vibrant forests, and the headwaters of the Wild and Scenic Hoback River.

Cheii art © 2023 by Keith Jim, Rock Point, AZ https://www.facebook.com/KTJ1Comics/ So, she, her family and Navajo Navy veterans camei up with a number of mottos written in Navajo like “Keyah doo iina yich’á indaabah” – “to serve to protect the land and way of life” – and “Tałkaa Silao Tsoh ast’aa yiniił” – “military rescue warrior.” Eventually, they chose Iiná yiich’áá’ nidabaahí bilį’į’, which means “the vessel of the protectors of life.” The crest itself was designed to include an illustration of a na’ashǫ́’ii dich’ízhii, more popularly known as cheii, or horned toad. Cheii is depicted in the middle of a shield with the Navajo motto underneath it. Billy-Upshaw said the Navajo Nation Department of Historic Preservation worked with the Council and the Navy on the design. https://www.dvidshub.net/video/895104/christening-usns-navajo https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/3504905/navy-to-christen-future-usns-navajo/ https://navajotimes.com/reznews/for-al...
