But hey man. That's like, just my opinion, man.

I dig the Dude abides response. You're right, it's just your opinion, man as is others and I am all for various opinions.

That said, all I see with these amazing examples of common statements are entities advising it's for FCD to determine, as is FCD's responsibility.

There's a career waiting for you as a late night born again TV evangelist.

Just went back and re-read it in Walton Goggins televangelist voice. It’s incredible.

That is one massive ogre of a building right along that stretch.

I've seen houses along the Clark and Bitterroot in city/county while floating though in GNP along McDonald river... i sure hope these out of State chumps get a swift 310 kick in the ass!

That house stands out like tic infestation hell when skinning a spring bear!

Federal Judge Rules in Favor of McDonald Creek Homeowners - Flathead Beacon

A federal judge on Wednesday ruled that a California couple who built a home without a permit on the bank of McDonald Creek in Glacier National Park did so legally, and that a local conservation district that ordered the home’s demolition, as well as the damaged streambed’s restoration, has no...

“In sum, the Court concludes that FCD lacks jurisdiction to enforce the Streambed Act on the Ambler Property because Montana has ceded exclusive jurisdiction over all land within the boundaries of Glacier National Park — including private inholdings — to the federal government,” according to DeSoto’s order.

“In reaching this conclusion, the Court is bound by the Ninth Circuit’s decision in Macomber, which held that Montana’s cession of jurisdiction over Glacier National Park included not only the public lands dedicated to park purposes by the United states but all privately owned lands within the described park boundaries,” DeSoto wrote, adding that “by this cession and acceptance, federal authority became the only authority operating within the ceded areas.”

Although state law “theretofore applicable within the ceded area at the time of the cession was assimilated as federal law … the Streambed Act was not in effect at the time of the cession and was not assimilated for the reasons explained above,” DeSoto wrote in the order. “Accordingly, under binding Ninth Circuit precedent, FCD lacks jurisdiction to enforce the Streambed Act on the Amblers’ private inholding within Glacier National Park.”
