The comment

As a daily hiker of the Prescott National Forest, I am strongly against proposed docket fs-2026-0100, ie. Forest Service Travel Management Regulations. The regulation as stated is ridiculous, as it details all anticipated uses (some warranted), and then leaves the door open to “any” use by stating “ and other motorized recreation”. Why bother with all the detailed uses when this clearly proposes any motorized use for any reason. Another consideration is the increase in potential fire risk by opening road use deep in forested areas. My neighborhood abuts a Prescott National Forest, and this plan increases the chances of fire destroying not only the forest, but my neighborhood as well.
