time2roll, I think that my reading of the rule is we aren't going to trample anything, even the ordinary landscapes. I am still pondering the 300 foot rule -- they can't really mean that it is ok to go 300 feet off the road on new ground. It has to mean "only on pre-trampled ground." I have made up my mind that we are simply going to stay in already-established boondocking sites, even if the rules seem to be more permissive than that.
The only exception would be camping on slabs of rock, which won't show much wear and tear. There are quite a few places like that in Utah and even in parts of the Sierra.
