I would like to write in to strongly oppose the proposed removal of the roadless rule. I live near the Bridger-Teton NF and work as a wildland firefighter. There is already a huge issue with inadequate funding and personnel to maintain the roads we do have. This backlog of maintenance should be a higher priority versus establishing new roads. Additionally, with the increasing use of aircraft on wildfires, roads are becoming less and less important for accessing lightning fires and often lead to more human caused fires. The wildfire issue is simply a red herring. As far as extracting resources and logging the financially viable timber on the Bridger-Teton is very low. The timber is generally low valley and mills far away. Timber near roads now is not being logged. Finally the explosion of off road vehicle use is a detrimental to our wild places and wildlife. I both snowmobile and dirt bike and do not see a need to more roads. It is becoming increased difficult to get away from UTVs when elk and deer hunting. Leave the wild places wild to be explored on foot or horse. The Roadless Rule should remain in place and it allows avenues through due process for new roads in specific cases that are needed.
