The comment

Please keep the 2001 Roadless Rule in place. My family backpacks around Shealor Lakes in the Eldorado National Forest, and it has become one of our favorite places anywhere. We slept in a tent under the stars for the first time there, and the trail is where we found a community of people who love the backcountry as much as we do. Development in that basin would erase what makes it so worth the hike. Shealor Lakes looks the way it does because people before us chose to protect it. We inherited that choice, and I want the next generation to inherit it too, with the lakes and granite as wild as we found them. Please leave these protections intact.

Keep learning. Keep speaking up.The Roadless Rule depends on public engagement. Share what you've learned.
