Tell Senator Cantwell...

... That you want better access to the North Cascades National Park so she should back a plan to re-establish the Stehekin Valley Road.

From a Seattle Times article last September:
"Asked about the {American Alps} proposal, Sen. Maria Cantwell was noncommittal. 'Senator Cantwell wants to increase use and access to the North Cascades National Park ... ,' her spokesman Jared Leopold said Friday. 'She looks forward to input from the community on how best to do that.'"

Despite their long-time opposition to re-opening the road, the North Cascades Conservation Council, the main proponents of expanding the park, wants better access to the park land which they view as underdeveloped and lacking in visitors.

Follow the logic? Neither do we! On your next trip Stehekin, asks some locals if they can explain it....
