“We're against this road and we say so on the front page. That's exactly why every figure on the site is cited to a document you can open, and why there's a page that lists what we got wrong.”
   Will Pattiz, More Than Just Parks

“Fights over public land are won and lost on whether people can picture what's at stake. Very little imagery existed of the country this road would cross, so we went and made some.”
   Will Pattiz, More Than Just Parks

“This is a private industrial road across public land, with staffed gates at both ends and no access for the general public. Every part of that sentence is in the government's own record.”
   Will Pattiz, More Than Just Parks

“The money is the part worth reading closely. The federal government now holds about ten percent of Trilogy Metals, the company that owns half the ore this road would serve, and it has the right to buy 12.3 million more shares for a penny each. The warrants unlock when the road's first phase is built, when ten ore-concentrate trucks use it in a ten-day period, or when control of the company changes. South32's option unlocks when the first phase is built or control of the company changes. We read the executed agreements Trilogy filed with the SEC and quoted them.”
   Will Pattiz, More Than Just Parks

“We counted every water crossing on the applicant's own centerline and got 2,932, the same total the federal record gives. That's about fourteen crossings for every mile of road.”
