Good points made by all and certainly good discussion!

My argument is that true wilderness, somewhere without the footprint of man,
essentially does not exist in the lower 48.....I am sure there are some
exceptions but they are rare and out in the north west. No amount of
bitching and moaning or legislation will ever restore it.

If you want a true wilderness experience therefore it is not going to happen
in the lower 48.

If you define "true wilderness" as "somewhere without the footprint
of man", the only way that anyone can have a "true wilderness
experience" is by destroying the wilderness.

Or maybe you could just cut off your feet before you go there...or
only women could go...any other suggestions?
