Friends of Wolf Creek.org and information about the Village at Wolf Creek Access Project - Draft Environmental Impact Statement,
I'm sad to report that Friends of Wolf Creek.Org seems to be AWOL, even if they finally managed to post a notice about the Rio Grand Forest Service open houses {now that they are here and soon to be history.}
The problem is that the official comment period on the Village at Wolf Creek Land Exchange Proposal #35945 will be over in a matter of weeks. September is all the time we have for raising objections to the plan of giving Mr. McCombs and LMJV prime real estate next to US Route 160.
I've heard people voice the conviction "the fix is in" there's nothing we can do.
And if the anemic turn out at last evening's Pagosa Springs Rio Grande National Forest VWC-DEIS open house is any indication, we'll make sure that's a self-fulfilling prophesy.
But, the fact is we do have one month, September, to officially offer our thoughtful objections directly to the USDA Forest Service powers-that-be. These comments received this month must be read and answered. We'll never know if we could have fixed that disappointing VWC-DEIS #35945 before being finalized, if we don't stand up in large numbers and write those comments and objections.

Commenting on This Project
The Forest Service values public input. Comments received, including respondents’ names and addresses, will become part of the public record for this proposed action. Comments submitted anonymously will be accepted and considered; however, anonymous comments will not provide the agency with the ability to provide you with project updates. The Forest Service wishes to provide you with as many opportunities as possible to learn about our activities.
Deadline for comments is officially 9/30/2012. (or is that Friday the 28th, or Monday the 1st?)
It would also be good to send a copy of your comments to our Congressional delegation - let them know you object to this Land Swap Deal:
