Hi all,

If you enjoy camping, fishing, hiking, skiing or climbing in Rocky
Mountain National Park and around Estes Park, your visit may be
altered forever if the US Department of Energy's proposed re-route of
an industrial-scale power line is approved. To oppose the re-route up
scenic Highway 36 entering the Estes Valley, visit:

A division of the DOE, Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), is
planning to upgrade aging powerlines, but instead of routing them
through the Forest Service's designated Utility Corridor, they are
planning to re-route them (creating *another* utility corridor) up
Highway 36 where most Americans get their first views of the majestic
peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park.

The comment period is closing soon: JANUARY 31st, 2012

Learn more at http://responsiblelines.org, a website put together by
local residents of Estes Park that realized that WAPA planned the re-
route to accommodate a single wealthy and influential land-owner.

Thanks very much for your help. The views in Estes Park are worth
defending. We hope you can visit without transmission towers blocking
your view.

Cheers,
Chris Jones
