Read the rest here."After months of silence on the issue, the chief of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has said the agency is nearly ready to announce the route it has chosen for Green Path North, the proposed energy corridor in the desert. In response, environmental groups opposed to the plan, which could stretch from Desert Hot Springs to Hesperia, say they are bracing for the announcement, and at least one group is not ruling out a lawsuit." Part of the power line route would cross public land managed by BLM-California and would requirefull public involvement and environmental review." - Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, 05/12/08

A Bureau of Land Management sign requests that visitors not disturb the area and help preserve the past." - Riverside Press-Enterprise, 05/09/08
