DB,if I read correctly 338 said he wanted to drive his ATV up an established ROAD to access a trail into the wilderness[]. Now we all know that you can' t drive a truck,ORV,snowmobile,mountain bike,skateboard,wheelchair, [&:](discrimination of the handicapped)[]or operate a chainsaw in a wilderness area. Right?
I have no problem at all with existing wilderness areas as per the US wilderness act of 1964, but I DO have a problem with the sierra club and thier greenie allies trying to take perfectly good useable National Forest land (used by 87%of the NF visitors) and pushing to get more land that is [&:]NOT wilderness[&:] (as per the act of 1964) locked up to the 87%so that they can establish more wilderness that 13% of NF visitors actually use!!!!!!!!![X(] []
Now the first step is closing roads-that would be getting thier foot in the door, AND most people ,if it doesn' t affect thier own personal area- don' t say a word ' till it does. Kind of like the proper way to boil a live frog. He will jump out of the boiling water.
Now I don' t have the exact numbers on me, but right now there are approximately 130 million acres of wilderness in the NF system-the sierra clubs target for 2010 is 300 MILLION acres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now that' s a lot of roads WE wont be able to use-and per the act MUST be [X(]de-constructed at OUR expense[X(]!!!!!!!!!!!! [X(]Now tht would really help with wildfires[>:], wouldn' t it?
I' m not trying to start a pissin match, just giving my opinion[:-] Can anyone feel the water warming up?!?!?? [>:] PS Thier buddies are burning SUV' s turning loose mink,and other acts of domestic Terrorism[&:][&:][X(][>:]
