I basically posted this 'cause I like the damn picture. But as long as I'm at it, I may as well mention that I found it while reading a news release from Earthjustice about bills in both the House and Senate addressing roadless areas. Don't know many details yet, but I do hope they address the glaring omissions in the recent reinstatement of the 2001 Roadless Rule that leave out 20 million acres in Idaho and the Tongass that were included in the original rule. I'll be watching, and if you have any updates pass them along.
Oh yeah, the poster is a graphic from the Earthjustice Roadless Now campaign. Check it out.
Update 10/05: Here's a press release from Oregon Wild on the Roadless Area Conservation Act of 2009 with links to both the House and Senate versions. Good news -- roadless areas in Colorado, Idaho, and the Tongass are included in these bills.

Hmmm...look at that. Senator Tester isn't listed as a cosponsor to protect our remaining roadless lands. Wonder why that is?
Maybe he's got other plans or something...
Hi Paul, I've been enjoying your posts, but my computer hasn't been allowing to post comments for some strange reason. Thanks for continuing to put up this sort of information, and I look forward to following your photo montana blog.
Thanks Dev. Good to hear from you again.
