Kansas, and Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine Maryland, Massachusetts and good old Michigan Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, and Montana Then Nebraska's 27, number 28's Nevada Next, New Hampshire, and New Jersey, and way down, New Mexico There's New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, now let's see Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee Texas and there's Utah, Vermont, I'm almost through Virginia and there's Washington, and West Virginia, too Could Wisconsin be the last one or is it 49? No, Wyoming is the last state in the 50 states that rhyme. When I sat down, all out of breath, The teacher said, “That’s great!” I’m quite impressed, you were the best in listing all the states; But if you wanna get a 4 for that silly little rhyme, Stand back up and sing that song, but do it double time! Alabama, and Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas California, Colorado, Co-nnecticut and more Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho Illinois, Indi-a-na, I-o-wa ...35 to go...

Colorado River Basin States Representatives of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming
Colorado River Basin States Representatives of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming September 8, 2020 VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL – COPIES TO FOLLOW VIA US MAIL The Honorable David L. Bernhardt, Secretary U. S. Department of the Interior 1849 C Street, NW Washington, DC 20240 Dear Secretary Bernhardt: As Governors’ representatives of the Colorado River Basin States of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming, we write to respectfully request that your office refrain from issuing a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) or Record of Decision (ROD) regarding the Lake Powell Pipeline until such time as the seven Basin States and the Department of the Interior (Interior) are able to reach consensus regarding outstanding legal and operational concerns raised by the proposed Lake Powell Pipeline project. The Colorado River Basin States face daunting challenges as populations continue to grow, water demands increase, and supplies diminish. In addressing these challenges, the Basin States, together with the past several presidential administrations, have cultivated cooperative relationships that yielded greater understanding of the unique issues facing each state and a more comprehensive recognition of basin-wide obstacles to sustainable and resilient river operations. At the same time, the Basin States have been careful to preserve each state’s rights and obligations under the 1922 Colorado River Compact, the 1948 Upper Colorado River Basin Compact, and other elements of the Law of the River. It is in that spirit that we write to you today. The proposed Lake Powell Pipeline project will divert water from the Upper Basin to serve communities located within the Lower Basin in Utah.

But a viable overland route across the remote deserts and mountains of Mexico’s far northern frontier had to be found. It took the vision and courage of Mexican trader Antonio Armijo to lead the first successful commercial caravan in 1829. Following a combination of indigenous footpaths, and early trade and exploration routes, he forged a trail network that collectively became known as the Old Spanish Trail.
