Dear President Bush,

We invite you to personally experience the natural wonders of the Boulder White-Cloud region proposed for new Wilderness designation. This area has 85 miles of non-motorized trails that would be lost to bicycle access by your signature on this bill.

Human activity and access by bicycle has been allowed for as long as there have been adventures like yourself who appreciate the vigor required traveling in this land.

As a cyclist you can appreciate the athleticism required to venture in this uniquely spectacular backcountry. These special features are attractive to those willing to supply the required effort with the added benefit of solitude from the busy world we live in.

Please consider carefully the impact that Wilderness will have on those of us, like yourself who chose to escape and recreate in the backcountry on bicycles.

For more information on how we can show you the unique characteristics of this land, please contact us at: www.gsmba.org

Sincerely,

Harley Parson
Idaho State Representative
