I am a Mo resident and an avid outdoorsman. I have always cherished the wild places in America. The places that a person has to work to get to. I have travelled in Wilderness Areas and Roadless Areas in Fl, Ga, Nc, Va, Me, Co, Az, Nm, Wy, Nv, Mt, Id, Wa, Or and Mo. The 25,500 roadless acres in the Mark Twain National Forest seems large but it is broken up over the southern half of the state, into small pockets, but these pockets are precious. It would be ashame to destroy this small remoteness that still exists. John Muir and Aldo Leopold understood that wild places were good for man's soul. Recent science has shown the benefits of wild areas for all of us and especially for our veterans. Protecting these areas is good for us, the American people. Loosing them is bad for us, tax payers, that will pay for these unneeded roads. Most US Forest Service Roads are built and maintained at a loss, even when they are constructed for extractive industries. So I, as a tax payer, subsidize the building and upkeep of roads I do not want, that then allow another person or entity to profit from resources I did not want them to utilize. The roadless rule has allowed the US Forest Service to stop building roads it can not afford to maintain and provide lands for conservation that become rarer and rarer by the day on our planet and in Missouri. I as a tax payer and voter strongly support keeping the Roadless Rule in place as is and protecting the values, lands and wildlife that persist on the few remaining roadless areas in Missouri and across the nation..
