    1. Wilderness areas are an abomination! They are in violation of the American Disabilities Act. Not having access roads leads to out of control fires spewing untold amounts of green house gasses into the atmosphere. Millions of animals are burned alive, look up a few pictures of these, it will change your mind if you have any compassion at all in your selfish soul. These lands are not being preserved as was the original intent, the law of unintended consequences makes a farce of this type of feel good legislation. These lands belong to all of us, not to just a few backpackers.

      2. I disagree Joe. Wilderness areas are places people can go to escape the constructs of man. They are good for the very soul. Leave the roads to the many productive lands (such as where I live in timber country), but keep a portion for the lovers of solitude; the hearty hikers and packers of the world.

  2. It is interesting that these fires are still blazing. As with the fires last year in Oklahoma, they didn’t have to be. There are water bombers ready and waiting to fly to drop water on these fires when they first happen. I have also heard reports that the BLM sets fires. I don’t know if it’s true. But it is a fact that the Feds will wait hours and hours after the first report of a fire, before they clear the water bombers for take off, when they could easily be in the air in 5 minutes. They could clear all other air traffic in preference for the water bombers. But for some strange reason, the red tape gets in the way every time.

  3. I should like to point out to the purists out there, the ones who say “no bridges”, that the handicapped, crippled and others pay their taxes just like everyone else. It is not equitable that the disabled who help pay for such conveniences as national parks and other outdoor activities be unable to use them. I’ve been crippled for over three decades, and things have changed a lot, that have helped me. Sorry if your wilderness can’t be “pure”, but neither is the human race. Wilderness areas are not supposed to be “safe” areas? Who knew? But according to who? And what law are you citing when you say that? The law of the jungle? Inner cities are far more dangerous. Ask any cop if people in wheel chairs get robbed. It is difficult enough just getting around. Banning a few bridges will put a serious obstacle in the way of anyone just trying to see a little of the outdoors after a long hospital stay. That’s why the ADA came about. So disabled taxpayers could enjoy a little of what all taxpayers get to enjoy.
