2008 Oct1 Oct31 Public Ltrs
"Matt Hegemier" To: <[email protected]> <[email protected]> cc: Subject: Comment on George Washington Plan Revision 10/16/2008 12:41 PM I'm frustrated to hear the news of possible Wilderness designation for Adams Mountain and always very suspect of user groups who insist on limiting access to areas based on their own agenda. I am very familiar with the Whetstone Trail in this area. The difference in the trail has been amazing since the mountain bike club has gotten involved. I have spent several work days improving the Whetstone Ridge Trail as well as performing regular maintenance when I travel it. I have seen little from the Wilderness group performed on or in this area. I would guess that most of those proposing wilderness in the Adams rarely recreate there. I have never run into anyone enjoying the area who was not on a bike. Benefits Since Bike Club Involvement- 386 Volunteer Hours of Maintenance by CAMBC since 2006 on Whetstone Ridge - Jewel of Adams Area - Whetstone trail is now more accessible by all users - the trail is regularly maintained, brushed and blow downs removed by the club, keeping users from cutting new trail - erosion areas have been bench cut to allow for better water flow and sustainability of the soil/trail This area needs to continue to be open to all users, including cyclists. I see no advantage in this situation to turning the area into Wilderness. It appears the current management plan is sufficient. Please feel free to contact me if you'd like to discuss further. -

I first would like to acknowledge the gracious assistance of Bob Malcolm Super- visory Cartographer of Region 2 in Golden, Colorado who opened up the Region’s archive of maps and atlases to me in November of 2005. Also, I am indebted to long-time map librarians Christopher Thiry, Janet Collins, Donna Koepp, and Stanley Stevens for their early encouragement and consistent support of this project. In the fall of 2013, I was awarded a fellowship by The Pinchot Institute for Conservation and the Grey Towers National Historic Site. The Scholar in Resi- dence program of the Grey Towers Heritage Association allowed me time to write and edit my research on the mapping of the National Forest System in an office in Gifford Pinchot’s ancestral home. -

The Wild Cascades
THE WILD CASCADES December 1968 - January 1969 2 THE WILD CASCADES "Otftft/ in the Pasay ten Wilderness I have roamed in foreign parts, my boys, And many lands have seen. But Columbia is my idol yet, Of all lands she is queen. Parson Smith, June 8, 1886 For the photograph on the cover of this issue, and details, we're indebted to Bruce A. Wilson, State Senator from Washington's Second Legislative District. The poem is carved in a tree near the Pasayten River trail, 19 feet inside the United States and several hundred feet from Monument 85. Following is the legend on a large sign marking the tree: PARSON SMITH TREE This Smith a might man was he — a tireless, lifeloving mountain man who shouldered packs that would stagger a mule. He had been prospecting around Hope B. C. with no luck to speak of. So he struck across the wilderness, relaying several hundred pounds of gear and supplies. Smith came past here in June of 1886, pausing to carve his doggerel into this tree. He went on to spend the winter trapping in the upper Methow. Alfred L. Smith died on the coast about 1920. His poetry never won a Pulitzer prize, but it sure came from the heart. Site marked by Okanogan National Forest and the Okanogan County Historical Society. So We've Got Our Park: What Do We Do With It? Gaze back fondly now, still semi-delirious, on a conservation administration ranking right up there with those of the two Roosevelts. Almost it was much greater. -
