I consider roads that aren't brushed out useless. It is good to get rid of useless roads. Many roads that get decommissioned end up being one of many roads thar go to the same area. The only reason for roads all over the place was for timber harvesting. Now that it is done, the usfs lost its road budgets and has been granted more money to try to resolve the mistakes that happend when raping the forest resources in the 20th century.If they don't have the money then why waste more money to rip up roads? If anything just let time take it's toll.Sent from my E6782 using Tapatalk

So if the USFS just lets the road grow over and someone decides to take their Subaru up one and somehow gets injured/killed because of the road conditions you can bet that the USFS will be looking at a civil suit...
If it was simply about liability they could put in tank traps or block the roads in some fashion instead of totally tearing out the roads.

This is Agenda 21 in action.
I wish they would lock every gate and close every road.Far too many people and far too few places to go.

Hmmm...
Grundy you have corrected me. There are plenty of places to go that are unmolested by the roads that constantly harrass and reak havack on the wildlife wintering grounds. Like wilderness areas and high country where most won't get out of there vehicles. But seriously yes you are correct I recant.
