That's why America is so great, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I respect you for letting me know your position, although I prefer to allow reasonable motorized access to Yellowstone Park. The true bottom line in the ongoing battle between folks who want access and folks who want access denied is that the 'access denied' bunch wants all access denied eventually by all means and for everyone - and that includes horseback riders and hikers too. Then they will want airspace over these pristine islands kept free of over flights. I just see a very dangerous trend in all of this. I believe the 'off road' bunch has been taking a reasonable position in relation to the 'access denied' bunch with regards to preserving some areas, but there is no reciprocal resonableness from the 'access denied' bunch toward the 'off road' bunch. It's all or none with the 'access denied' bunch, so the 'off road' bunch is justified in fighting them at every opportunity to maintain some reasonableness overall.
Again, you have a right to express your position and I hope you vote in November with the true facts in mind over this issue.
