There are air strips and jet boats all over the Frank Church. <br /><br />From wikipedia: "The Wilderness Act allows certain uses (e.g.; resource extraction, grazing, etc.) which existed before the land became wilderness to be grandfathered in, permitting them to continue to take place although the area that was designated as wilderness typically would not concede such uses. Specifically, mining, grazing, water uses, or any other uses that don’t significantly impact the majority of the area, can remain in some degree."<br /><br />Is mountain biking not 'extractive' enough?Alan Swansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12303306274231670317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4505248096998009319.post-56452130238141503532015-08-06T07:44:10.327-07:002015-08-06T07:44:10.327-07:00Go ride, apologize if necessary!Go ride, apologize if necessary!Moocycleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987932570079760316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4505248096998009319.post-12340627121697060182015-08-05T09:08:44.347-07:002015-08-05T09:08:44.347-07:00Beautifully articulated Tom.

Wish things had turned out differently and that the collaborative path had been honored. I am thankful for the memories we share, riding bikes on the best trails I have ever ridden.
