rockinb,
I'm glad the people "won" for now at least.
As a long time user of the NF system, I realize the benefits to the surrounding communities of having road access available.
However, as a long time user of the NF system, I've also seen a lot of damage done, on road and off road, by "a--holes" who have no interest in what's happening after they leave the forest.
One day I hope to explore the Gila ( I need to catch one of those trout for my unofficial life list
) , never really got a chance to when I lived in the Pinetop AZ area. And at my age, the exploring will have to be by vehicle or "rented horse".
