The fact that the Blue Ribbon Coalition opposes the Tester Wilderness bill makes me move my stubborn toe from lukewarm to “maybe” in support of it.
They are upset about a popular “highlining” area being turned into wilderness.

Montana: Snowmobilers urged to fight Tester wilderness/logging bill
Thursday, December 10th, 2009Minnesota: Ely mayor gets citations for BWCAW violations
Thursday, December 3rd, 2009Looks like he was busted snowmobiling in the wilderness. Many in Ely hate the wilderness protection and would like to see the BWCAW become like the Wisconsin Dells. This probably makes him more popular.
Wyoming: State flips flops, will try to stop new Yellowstone sled rule
Saturday, November 28th, 2009Looks like someone threw some weight around.

Montana: Gallatin National Forest to limit snowmobile use in WSA
Tuesday, November 17th, 2009Simply common sense. Why were sleds allowed in the wilderness study area to begin with? The Forest Service is upset that they have to do this, and are only doing it because of a court order issuing compliance with wilderness study area rules.
Confessions of an off-road vehicle outlaw
Friday, November 6th, 2009Really nice article by a reformed illegal off-roader. What changed this guys mind was when his experience was hampered by loud, obnoxious morons who ruined his elk hunt. It’s funny how some people never see the light until something actually happens to them. This is no different than health care. Healthy, full of energy….who needs universal health care? “I dun got my own, I’m good”. Experience sickness yourself, or from an immediate family member and that view changes REALLY fast.
It all boils down to personal experience. People who lead dynamic, non-sheltered lives have the ability to put themselves in others shoes and show compassion. Even a monkey can do this. It’s sad that some politicians cannot.
Yellowstone finalizes snowmobile cut
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009Yellowstone snowmobiling cut in half

Environmentalists seek to intervene in lynx suit
Monday, August 3rd, 2009Note that Wyoming and Washington snowmobile groups sued the USFWS for adding more critical acreage for lynx. They see it as a threat to more motors gone wild access, of which the national forests already have 400,000 miles of.
Corrupt U.S. District Judge Clarence Brimmer will be deciding this one, so odds are stacked for the motors gone wild crowd.
