I'm just not able to get behind anymore wilderness. I can't hit every access point to Washingtons wilderness if I went every weekend for 5 year straight. We MUST be able to manage forests and wilderness designation eliminates that.
I can get behind state losing control to the fed on timberland. ....but the free reign of individual ranger districts doesn't turn my crank. What's totally accepted in the Coeur d alene district just a few miles from the Colville is completely illegal in the Colville. When you give a few people reign over more than a million acres, it won't end well.
