Lets stop closing trails, who will use these areas if no one can get in. There are very few hikers and horse riders.

We need recreation sites like this. We can restrict development by surliest like this allow older and handicap people access to beauty they would otherwise not see

As a multiply disabled, combat veteran, Native American, I think I've earned the privliege to do so, for all outdoor enthusiasts. It's a major form of therapy.

Its time that the national forest service turns around their close it all mentality and listen to the people who actually use, want to use, our public lands as they where intended to be used.

I'm a utv owner and I've been exploring the back country all my life . I hate to see the road closures . I think every American should be able to enjoy the back country as I did growing up.

ATV means jobs and revenue. In Idaho Last year I spent $4,085 on gas, $1,346 Lodging, $2,564 Food while in Idaho.I also needed maintenance on the road for my vehicles and ATV with local shops that totaled $3,896 . I tour on my Can Am and make no dust or damage to the area with a top speed of $25 MPH. I only travel forest service roads!

As a disabled veteran this means a lot to me. I use to backpack thru the PNW but after going to Iraq in 2004 and getting shot in the leg I can't walk a 1/4 mile without being in pain. So I now have to use a SXS to get around. I think more areas need to be opened up to us instead of closing down areas to us.

I am disabled and have a SXS. I would love to have more opportunities to enjoy nature with my family.
