"Say hello to your new wilderness. Wild Sky by name, the 106,000 acres of wilderness is just days away from being officially preserved forever."

""It's not wilderness," said Gary Yates, president of Timber Tamers 4X4 Club, a local offroading group that likes to ride in the Wild Sky area. "I don't want to lose recreational opportunities, and we are."

"An act of Congress will leave it untrammeled, its supporters say."


What a crock of ****...untrammeled...yeah, like it hasn't been logged at least once before and there aren't really 100 miles of logging roads up there either

The thing I don't get is how a wilderness area can have a major FS road right through the middle? :wtf:

This will be the first wilderness area that they are allowed to land recreational float planes on. :eeek:

They are thinking ahead, the clearcuts should be semi-wilderness in about 50 years.
