In related news, yours truly has to ask for and get clearance from the SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE's office (not just my superiors in the Forest Service) so I can do my projects in roadless areas on the Forest, even if I am not doing something like, oh, say, making a road or logging. And here I am trying to do wildlife habitat improvement...

If only the elk could read the roadless area map.

PS. I am pretty sure this thread was posted back when this decision happened, a couple months ago (see the date?).
