Regarding the beautiful break from the city of Prescott to Chino Valley, with its cattle, wildlife, pronghorns and bird life on the James's Deep Well Ranch; is the CALT Inc too busy with Granite Dells to try raising funds; requesting a green belt along this stretch? Of course it would forever be a historic landmark for Yavapai County and the James family.
Phoenix Arizona neighbors and myself grew up riding below Piestewa Peak, formerly Squaw Peak. A group of concerned citizens forever changed/preserved this mountain break that so many enjoy, between the cement slabs and wilderness. Here is a sample from their first efforts that included work on commissions, bonds, elections etc. "It started in earnest in 1971 when the Western Saddle club, Mayor Driggs, Councilman etc. had a cowboy breakfast and ride that began a successful preservation of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve." Shouldn't Yavapai County and quad-city residents seize the moment to do likewise? Thank you.
