Subject:                          FW: Great Burn historic snowmobile access

 

 

 

 

 

The Montana Idaho stateline has enough Congressionally approved wilderness areas and the Great Burn area (GBA) should be open for historic snowmobiling that has safe, clear, and beautiful areas with no animals up in the snow. The retired forest service supervisor Edward Monning recommends the (GBA) as a National recreation area that I feel is proper, it has historic forest service roads and mining areas and it was incorrectly put as a RWA. We don't need more global warming and major fires, so the (GBA) will also have proper logging when needed.

I have talked to local people about what they recommend for the (GBA) and everyone says it should be open. There were people that wondered if the wilderness associations are incorrectly giving hiding money to close areas when the actual majority of people don't want them closed.

Sent this comment to Nez Perce - Clearwater National Forest also, thank you, William Porter.
