We want our legal rights upheld to use the public easements granted in perpetuity for access to our public lands for the Dixon's Apple Road, Dome Lookout Road and the Bland Canyon Road.

For hundreds of years the people of Pena Blanca, Sile, La Bajada, Algodones, Pueblos, Sandoval County, Residents of New Mexico, Citizens of the United States and Foreign visitors have enjoyed the access to public lands off Cochiti Highway and Dixons Apple road, for the exercise of cultural, traditional, commerce, recreation and quiet enjoyment. Since the land exchange with the Pueblo de Cochiti, barriers to access and threatening signage have been put in place. Historic routes have been closed off. Land owners are denied access to their properties. Recreationists and others are now denied their legal right of access and some have incurred additional costs or lost value to their holdings. These incurred current and future losses are caused by the illegal and questionable closures that bar access.
