Score one for the good guys!

Montana Supreme Court affirms stream access.

"It's going to have a profound impact on public access to publicly owned lands and water in the future," he said. "From now on, Montanans may access rivers and streams from all public roads from within the right-of-ways, regardless of whether it's a 'dedicated' road (that is, one that was formally established as a public way) or a prescriptive road. If it's a public road, Montanans may use the right-of-way to get into rivers and streams for recreational purposes."

Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.

But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.

I wish more all states would follow Montana's access rules.

The Dow Jones Ranch and other pay-to-play places in the other Western states will be lobbying hard to make sure this goes no further.
