I can't believe it! We do have something in common after all. I too am a wilderness buff. I've hiked and climbed all over the Rockies, Adirondacks, Cascades. Was that before or after the Valdez? We had a guy do that a few years back. He wound up in the back of an abandoned school bus, starved to death. Some cat wrote a book about him, I'm not sure why. <<I've done 6 weeks survival in the Alaskan wilds with no food except what I could fish, kill or scavenge from plants and berries right where the Exxon Valdez spilled its load of poisons. >> I too was angry at the Valdez incident. It was inexcusable, and the company must take the blame, not the captain or the ship. However, they were only trying to get you some gas for your beamer. <<<They helped destroy one of the greatest places on earth.>>> Not true. It came back. In spite of your wilderness experience, you do not understand the power of nature. Nobody can argue with this: <<<When I go into the wilderness I don't leave any trace that I've been there and neither should anyone else.>>> Where we differ, my friend, is that you classify everything as wilderness, including the national forests outside of wilderness areas, and you claim that the legitimate and lawful resource management that goes on there destroys it. I take great personal exception to that, and so do the millions of trees that I've had a hand in planting.
