<big snip>In addition....I am confronted once again with the concept of Wilderness and what it means?

Well that's a start...got a date...got to go
He reinforced it a few times in that thread. The home page of this site celebrates the concept - "Wilderness Still" with the loon call for reinforcement. I'm well aware that the BW/Q has been mostly logged over, mined or at least sampled, thought of as a game reserve... but what keeps it 'wilderness' IMHO for now, is it's still more useful to promote it that way. There isn't that much of it left, especially so accessible. You want wilderness? Take a hike into Iran. 'Hey, we didn't know there was a line and stuff just happens'.
