Greetings,

Although I have written before, I wanted to add my comments one more time.

As a resident of Four Mile Road, hiker, and nature enthusiast, I hope you will consider Alternative B, not allowing leases in The Thompson Divide to be renewed.

I hope it has been demonstrated that the recreation and agriculture in this area is worth a great deal of money to the local communities as well as the state and also how important these lands are for the various watersheds for miles around. 

It is also my hope that both the WRNF and the BLM will protect our air and water, and the livelihoods of so many in our community who depend on the wilderness and wildlife here. 

With great respect and appreciation,

Gail Pollack
