Check out the message below from the "Last Refuge Campaign".
Apparently they have already decided that roadless areas are off limts to sledders....
P.S. Sledders, please do stay out of designated Wilderness area. We don't need to give the "extreme green" any legitimate ammo.
P.P.S. Sledders, please take a moment and join the Blue Ribbon Coalition if you haven't already. (
