Wilderness question...

[colorado rmk addict]

... can't sled, can't mtn bike, can't hang-glide ... but can you scuba?

 

[Tedd]

That is an excellent question. I believe that may be one of those "Gray Area" situations. I will be looking into this, but my expectation is that scuba diving may be considered "mechanized".

But, you can use Plastic Explosives, and Airplanes are pretty much exempt (lots of airfields in the middle of wilderness). And, when the rafter whine, you can use gas powered augers to open up the river. Oh, and you can ride a snowmobile there, if someone will act like their lost.

Or out ride the rangers on their 600's?

Around here they have brand new Polaris 700's..... pretty nice Forest Service sleds. I wonder if they were impounded or purchased.

i cant even swim.....

Word is, they wreck sleds so fast, they won't give them nice ones. I heard a story about a FS training session. Bunch had never been on a sled, they wrecked all the sleds, and had to cancel the class.

I live next to great sleding that is wilderness, Never rode it but would like to, Proably wake up all the wildlife and disrupt the meditation of thousands of greenine who NEED to know there is this wild natural place , most will never see it they just want to know its there.

 

[Wade]

I wonder if we could create a new mythical continent where all the animals are happy, and no humans live, and everything is natural. We could call it the continent of Feelgood. We could threaten to ride our snowmobiles there, if they don't quit bothering us. Or we could threaten to dump dihydrogen monoxide in the animals water supply.

Hell, you won't wake them up cause they won't be able to hear you from there climate controlled condo in the city. You may upset the natural balance of one or two of them and cause them to walk out really mad. But not thousands of them.

They were purchased. They definitely needed new ones.

I think if you research any of the airstrips inside National Forest or wilderness you will find out they were private property before the wilderness was created and were donated to the Government with the stipulation that they remain open to the public.
