The Denver Post is reporting that the Army at Fort Carson is looking to aquire land in the Picket Wire Canyonland, one of the richest fossil record areas in the county. Or should I say reacquire as it was transferred to the DoE in the 90s due to it’s archeological value. So, the Army wants to take the land to use as a range. Not right, there is plenty of land in the public domain that could be used for this purpose (of course it’s just not contiguous to the Ft.
“The great thing about this site is that it’s here to see, and it’s free for the public,” said U.S. Forest Service paleontologist Bruce Schumacher, leaning against a rock after wading across the Purgatoire River - the River of Lost Souls, as French explorers first called it.
This isn’t an incidental take here school kids. Let’s hope that some reason prevails and the Army is forced to find more suitable lands.
