Dave StartzellGUEST
it was it was about 800 miles about 200 miles on roads and the rest on private land initially

Larry Van MeterGUEST

But ultimately, there were case studies, one of which included the AT project done by Interior.

Larry Van MeterGUEST

Larry Van MeterGUEST
And happily, it turned out that the case study was actually fairly glowing about the AT.
