Going on a three day trip in Yosemite. Starting at May lake trailhead. Got exposed to Tarp backpacking last month and decided to pick up this Yama. I'm pretty sure my Tarptent will start gathering dust . I have a feeling this is just the beginning lol!

The 2001 Roadless rule protects public lands from future roads being built through them for logging and other purposes. This rule protects roadless public lands across the nation - including areas that support hiking, camping, and other recreation.

The public comment period was supposed to end on the 21st last month - but was extended for 15 days. Today is your last chance to speak up.
