Done, and I forwarded it to a friend and the RAF as well

Comments made and submitted, real comments, not anything that may sound like a form letter.

These airstrips are invaluable, comments left.

Thanks Matt! How have you been? Haven’t heard or seen any thing from you in a long time. How is the family? How old is Luke now?

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. This is the short note I submitted to express my support of the cause.

Greetings,

My name is Rich Wellner and I'm a pilot and user of the BLM strips in Utah (and elsewhere). I have been told that there is currently a planning process taking place to evaluate back country airstrips and plan for the future.

I am also a member of an informal group we call "heavier out" which takes it upon ourselves to leave the back country better than we found it by bringing extra garbage bags with us when we use back country strips, gather garbage that other (in my experience, principally non-aviation) users have left behind and carry it out with us.

These strips are a valuable resource for recreational, safety and fire fighting usage and I hope I can encourage you to continue to maintain the existing strips and, over time, add additional ones to replace those lost over the years.

Thank you for your consideration of my input and hopefully I'll cross paths with some of you someday in the back country.

I added my comments. Hopefully, it will make a difference! Those airstrips provide access to folks like me who would otherwise never be able to get there...

Thank you for the notice!
