Using Hansen's illogic about a the 'once-beautiful passage (simply cited on a map as US Highway 12) from Lewiston, Idaho to Lolo, Montana', anyone could make the case that Highway 12 itself already has ruined this 'once-beautiful passage'. I think all precautions should be put in place to safely move the Megaloads down Highway 12 with minimal disruption to those living and traveling along that corridor, but once they've moved on through there wouldn't be anything different from now. The one Megaload that has already gone through hasn't changed anything about that stretch of highway so that pretty much neuters the argument that the Megaloads will ruin things. The delays will be forgotten, trees are renewable, and road and power line damage can be fixed. Anything affecting the scenic view (or lack thereof) years from now will be caused by something other than the Megaloads which are simply passing through for a relatively very brief period of time.<br><br>-Scott<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><hr size="2" width="100%" align="center" id="stopSpelling"></span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:48:26 -0700<br>From: <a href="mailto:godshatter@yahoo.com">godshatter@yahoo.com</a><br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Firm seeks to undo megaloads ruling<br>To: <a href="mailto:bear@moscow.com">bear@moscow.com</a>; <a href="mailto:scooterd408@hotmail.com">scooterd408@hotmail.com</a><br>CC: <a href="mailto:vision2020@moscow.com">vision2020@moscow.com</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">From my perspective, I understand and sympathize with arguments involving the possible problems with moving a large megaload through the area (delays, cutting trees, possible damage to the road).

They said the company actually could be out $85 million. Because the company's plans to use the highway predate a February decision by Winmill saying the Forest Service has authority to regulate megaload traffic, they said the judge's characterization of their decision to use the highway as a calculated risk was in error.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">"RCCI respectfully requests that the court, on an expedited basis, reconsider its order, deny plaintiffs' request for injunctive relief, and direct the Forest Service to rescind its September 17, 2013 closure order accordingly. Should the court decline to reconsider its order, or should it reconsider its order only to conclude that the injunction should remain, RCCI alternatively requests that the court grant RCCI's request to stay the injunction pending an appeal," according to court documents.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">The company shipped a megaload over the highway in early August, which spawned four nights of protests by tribal members and environmentalists.
