Slowly, I coaxed the bus onto the elevated wooden floor, watching the garage door overhead for any signs of recoil. I was braced for the worst, but the old, orange monstrosity eased into its shelter without incident or complaint. The analogy was complete. Like a unique and oversized vehicle approaching a narrow space that wasn't built for it, so too has the Game Range 50th Anniversary Project been lumbering slowly forward and adjusting to fit the diverse needs of numerous cooperating individuals and organizations. This most recent meeting of cooperators was the toughest test so far.
Common ground tends to shrink as the number of interested parties expands.
Thus, it's all the more remarkable that we still have room to maneuver the 50th Anniversary bus. This project is ambitious and complex because so much land is involved. It's going to require participation on the part of many individuals and organizations to move that much land into state ownership. As a result of this recent meeting, work will now intensify to develop specific project proposals for you review. Public participation is the next significant step that must be taken before land trades or purchases can occur.
