I, along with a lot of aviation, boating, hiking, hunting, and science folks I've met over the decades happen to think the least we can do is accept it the way it is and leave it the way we found it. I don't think that's such a hard concept, and I don't think that will 100% satisfy 100% of the aviation users, 100% of the hikers, 100% of the jet boaters, etc. But it's fine with me.


I totally agree. We're beyond lucky to have what we have. I think if we just continue to fly classy, and act classy while in the backcountry, these guys and others will be able to enjoy this beautiful area for many years to come:

If the greenies and eco freaks don't like us airplane type flying in the back country, I don't like all them hippies making all that dust, noise and the burning of all that wood that came from the forest on a dry lake bed in northern Nevada!!!! :evil: :evil:

Oh..... how about the pollution from that burning wood????? What a bunch of flippin hypocrites!!!! :evil: :evil:


Hello my BCP friends (if I have any left :D ). Sorry about my rant yesterday ( [-X on me). I think I woke up on the wrong side of the couch from my nap :oops:

I have some hippie friends that probably wouldn't like what I said above.

I'll keep my mouth shut for now on. I have the same views as most of you and especially Kevin, Emmet, and Rob. You all have fun in the Backcountry these coming weeks.
