Having lived at Lake Tahoe California my entire life (72 years) it saddens me to imagine losing the roadless protections that have preserved the amazing wild areas that are so important to us all here on the Tahoe National Forest as well as the National forests to both the north and south. From my experience there certainly appears to be ample existing road access for recreation, fire suppression and other needs that might arise. I implore you to leave in place these all important protections. Thank you for your time. Buck Barkley
