I am impressed with the speed and effort in the recent of repair Garnet Dike Road in the Sierra National Forest. I also understand that there is a large backlog Great work to repair Garnet Dike Road, but I do know that there is a lot of forest road maintenance that the USFS is not able to keep up with.
As for the Roadless Area Conservation Rule of 2001, I support alternative #1. Please leave existing areas roadless.
The argument that these new roads will help reduce wildfires overall is just plain bogus. We need wild places now more than extractive resources.
