Establishing public ROWs to landlocked public parcels and other access programs have been tried through many, many different venues. It just wasn’t working in a lot of cases such as the Elk Mountain area.

Those landowners are/were going way, way out of their way to block the public from using public land for a reason and leasing access ROWs just wasn’t something they were willing to consider. If they were offered millions of dollars to offer public access they may consider it, but then we’d all be bitching about using so much taxpayer money for it.
Mr T,

you seem to have hit the proverbial head of the nail there.

Not only the guy in the discussion here, but there are others who like things like checkerboard lands within their "ranches" to continue to be access free so they can use them for their own purposes, without compensating the public for such.
