The comment
I oppose the proposed rescinding of the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule (2001 Roadless Rule)
I have listed some of the areas with in the National Forest System lands that I have visited. A road would eliminate some of the areas of all its natural feelings. Others would lose their natural landscaping.
Just because the land is roadless does not keep visitors from a far. I have hiked the Falls of Hills Creek up stream to the falls (not the tourist path) Seneca Creek up stream till it was too steep and hiked Roaring Plains and camped on Cheat Mountain. Also hiked, camped and skied North Fork Mountain.
Of course, I have stayed at many State Parks and other lodgings during the week and on weekends including a night when it was -24F as a tourist averaging 10-30 days a year in the WV Highlands etc. for 57 years till COVID came. Of course I didn't do all this alone having introduced about 30 first time visitors to WV.
All this while living in Richmond, VA and other nearby areas.
Yours, John Tichenor
