We here in the Panhandle wish you good luck in your battle, as we understand perfectly what you are going through. We are locked in our own fight against a proposal to put the same type power lines over and through the priceless Palo Duro Canyon. If you'd like to see what we're doing to save our canyon you are welcome to visit the Protect North Palo Duro Canyon Coalition website at: www.protectcanyon.com
We also have an online petition that it would be great if you could sign in a show of support!
Again, good luck and keep the faith!

Thank you, all of our supporters.
Halloween weekend we had a great "Road Rally" along the River Road. Everyone that drives along this road recognizes what a fragile environment it is.
I hope all of you enjoyed my "Tombstone Tour", it will be repeated by popular demand,,,,,,,,,you need to demand. I am working on next years additions, I am open to suggestions, Gedelmans please help me, I have several to run by you.
We had more than several hundred supporters that week-end. I am humbled by this communities love of this Lampasas River Valley. We have been here less than 3 years and have lived many places in our quest to make a living, none have the honest, open community support that we have seen here. There are generations that drive this River Road after church, it is a Sunday drive, we met them and understand. We met a gentleman that drives his grandson along this road, it gives comfort to the Grandfather and eases the Grandson into a restful sleep. I met a teenager that bags groceries after school that gave me his last $3 dollars to help protect this Lampasas River Valley. We may think that we are just one person, but we can be more and we must be more, we must give our best and be our best.
The Lampasas River Valley is everyones front yard, thousands enjoy the scenic views of this valley it is worth fighting for.

My property is directly affected by this proposal. After a life in the military we just wanted a littled quiet place in the country where our grandchildren could play without inhibitions and learn about wildlife and habitats. We only have 3 acres.......

A friend of mine will be directly affected by this decision. It would block the view on their very beautiful property, bringing down the value on their property and directly affect their enjoyment of their home. Please do not continue with this project.
I wonder if the Cole's have registered their "Tombstone" / cemetary tour? What a hoot!
I hope everyone took advantage of the "tour"!

My dearest friend, Geneva Doggett, has property that will be affected. I hate to see this area wiped out, it is such a beautiful area. This route would probably take her parents home and hers. This is just not right! Nobody or no business should be able to do that to anyone.
Thank you to all that attended the Maxdale/DingDong fund raiser on a rainey evening. The food was outstanding and the company better. For those that could not make it, there is still time and a need for your help. These transmission lines are forever, your grandchildren will be in their way and this Lampasas River Valley will not be the treasure you want to leave them. As caretakers of this valley we have to do our best to defend it from this degradition. coleranch@gmail.com Aldermans email me.

We have 13.97 acres in Lampasas County off CR 3070 near the Sulpher Springs river which flows in the Lampasas River but effected by the Brown-Newton 345 kV Transmission Line project. I am currently serving in the US Army and stationed in AZ soon to deploy to Afghanistan in January 2010 for a year. We purchased the land in 2000 with the intentions of returning from overseas retire and build our house, set up a very small ranch & farm on the property but with the proposed route and easement we'll lose all but 1/2 acre to the route and at least 30% value plus having to continue make payments and taxes on the land. I support and applaud the effort of STLRI program to maintain the beauty of the Lampasas River community. God bless the Save the Lampasas River, Inc and our Texas community
