Carlan Tapp - Portrait U.S.A. - Photographic Essays: March 2014
http://carlantapp.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 27, 2014. It was a hot day in August of 2010 when I first met Tim Tanksley and Dub Tolbert in Bokoshe, OK. They are both born, raised, and live on family homesteads in the area. Long time close friends, together they create a powerful force. The Making Money Having Fun LLC coal fly ash disposal pit (better know by permit from the state of Oklahoma as a "reclamation site") ajoins Dub's ranch. The coal ash has polluted his grass and water supply for livestock. Be strong, be safe, Carlan.

Wednesday, September 24, 2014. On Sunday morning I rode a short distance into Sacramento on Highway 50 now an eight lane freeway. Quite a change from the past two weeks of riding across America.

Combines old school attitude with 103 cubic inches of V-Twin engine to rattle minivan windows." Yea.I think I have been rattling a few windows. Actually, got my heart to thumping nicely.

Friday, March 6, 2015. A federal judge in Colorado said that health dangers posed by coal mining are too great to allow a planned expansion of strip mining at the Navajo Mine. On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge John L. Kane ruled that the proposed expansion of 714 acres at the 13,000-acre Navajo Mine violates the National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA. For those of you who have been following this blog for the past 10 years, Judge Kane's ruling this week directly protects Lucy Willie and her family.
