Let me get this straight. Environmentalists demand “roadless” national parks and now they are upset that people won’t visit them. Do I have this right?

That is certainly the case here in GA. I was an avid hiker and backpacker and know the mountains here very well. But, so many areas are now more isolated, which is fine, but it requires a certain type of vehicle, more distance to be covered (ie time) and more stamina (ie I am older). I drive a sports car now and simply can't get to 90% of the place I used to haunt frequently.

....more stamina (ie I am older......

Ever hiked at Cumberland Island?

I’m working my old bones up for a trip there in May. It’s flat as a board..... no up! Miles and miles of trails.
