Thanks Dan. I appreciate polite conversation. We are all on this forum because of a common interest but it would be an unhealthy place if we all had the same opinion.
Whereas you cite the USFS would have their hands tied I feel they are tied now trying to fit us all in a one size fits all program. There appears to be quite a few sides to this coin. While I don't want state control I do want local input. I don't see that conversation happening with the USFS. Not genuinely.
My wants are simple. I have 900,000 acres right out my front door and 95% of it is essentially closed for 1/3 of the year. Winter camping has been declared off limits to all but a few of those acres. I haven't seen any new roads. I see roads being plowed up, bermed and bouldered off. I don't think its the right course of action. The fences are getting too close for comfort.
I sincerely hope you don't drive 200-300 miles one Friday to your favorite camp spot only to find it gated off. I think the danger of that is quite real. In the meantime enjoy the ride.
