I hope the powerful AARP and various verterans groups eventually get involved in these land closure issues.
Many older or disabled Americans can only get into the wilderness via a vehicle of some type. I used to backpack and loved it ... that was all well and good back when. But now the DW and myself must use our RV to get and stay out in the middle of nowhere - as that's the only way we are able to do it. It's flat out NOT RIGHT for only the young/strong/immortal greenie-types to be able get onto "public" lands there via their feet. They may think it's a higher path, but it's blatantly unfair - when thought about rationally.
BTW, the DW and myself are "nature lovers" ... the DW even has a college degree in it. I'll take on any greenie who thinks vehicles being allowed in the wilds is immoral ... including radicals resembling the late Edward Abbey (the author of Desert Solitaire).
