Take it for what's it's worth, but I think there are legal avenues to get to better stream access in wyoming. Not being a lawyer l, it seems to be spelled out pretty clearly in the interstate commerce act.
I want access to land locked public land as much as the next guy, but forcing easements via eminent domain is not the right course of action, in my opinion.
What may be a better course of action is to look at the BLM policy of multi use. If the ground is landlocked and used only for grazing. It should shoulder a larger financial burden. I will be the first one to admit that folks that have grazing leases that are open to the public have more to deal with in terms of having people on the grazing lease. If the lease is getting exclusive access, that should be reflected in the price of the grazing leases. If the lessee chooses to grant an easement to the grazing leases. That leasee is taking on an additional burden, but keeping with the BLM policy of multi use, and the price of that grass should reflect that.
For an outfit like the Rock Springs Grazzing Association they could see a massive befit for allowing access. For another outfit that treating that ground as private, they would see that exclusive use reflected in the price of their leased grass.
I think we need to keep in mind that if the folks that see corner crossing as an unjust taking of our right to access public land that we dont turn around and call for an unjust taking of private land. The best policy is that of good neighbors.
