Brian,They will not let me place a power trail any where in the state,it would not matter if there was not a home or cache within 50 miles.It would not matter if God approved it! If they would allow me to place my power trail out in the middle of nowhere I would do it in a New York minute! If you all do not believe me please email Artemis or Coadmin and they will confirm what I'm saying is true.
