I've been following lately my friend Mark Boslough's battles over RS 2477, an old federal law that is at the center of some pretty important land fights in the western United States.
In Mark's case, off-roaders with giant-tired four-wheel drive vehicles have claimed RS 2477 rights to drive their vehicles up a creek bed on a ranch Mark's family owns in the mountains of Colorado. They claim it's a road. Mark's got some great pictures of the RS 2477 "road" here.
