It would be more expensive than you could imagine, as the Supreme Judicial Court has already ruled that it would be a "taking" of private property for public purposes and require fair compensation to the landowners.

We have the right of passage already for purposes of fishing and waterfowling--what we need is to make more law enforcement types aware of it when they challenge us.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
