The Red Rock Resistance
THE SAGA OF CIELO ENCATADA
- THE JOHN LAING HOMES AFFAIR
|
In the summer of 2002, Red
Rock Canyon was threatened by a proposal to build a city the
size of Barstow, Calif., in the Canyon. After many months of
debate, threats, blackmail, and the sacrifice of at least one
chicken to Gods of Commerce, the plana was abandoned and the
heathen developers crawled back to their denuded old-growth forest
caves to lick their pus-filled wounds and get ready for anothet
assault.
The following is an archive
of the actions of the brave citizens of Blue Diamond (may their
names resound forever!).

- FACTS ABOUT THE SUBDIVISION
- "This ain't no party,
this ain't no disco, this ain't no foolin' around." And, this isn't some little mountain-top
enclave we're talking about. The subdivision will be larger than
Boulder City when it's completed. See what we're fighting against.
