Looking at the cost of these things I can't help thinking Newmont was extorted to chip in as part if their wildlife mitigation. The valley is a migration route but the tunnel (overpass) location seems so far east that it would take some doing to push the herds there from the springs.Utemikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09578504472525149131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693614218792476252.post-55871094066349137312013-09-19T18:38:09.101-07:002013-09-19T18:38:09.101-07:00Thanks!
