Do you know what legally accessible means? You must not because what I stated would be needed to get into that canyon another way if the canyon mouth is blocked by private property. If there are other legally accessible ways into that canyon property, then the owner of the private land at the mouth would have no say in the lands past his as you have now stated.

FYI most all designated wilderness areas are under control of the USFS, not the BLM, and no mining or anything else is allowed other than hiking, hunting, and fishing with access on foot or by horse/mule. The BLM is an entirely different situation in that there is a lot of grazing, mining, oil & gas exploration allowed under tightly controlled permits on those lands. The same holds true of USFS lands that aren't designated wilderness areas.

We are not talking about a lease between an individual and a landowner. Your concept regarding a lease in Texas is a far cry from what flags and I are describing in this thread and if you're wrong you're wrong, whether you want to try to get out of it by saying it's just semantics, rather than anything of substance. It seems as if I've heard that same excuse on other threads when you're proven wrong and come up with that line, LOL!
