I remember reading about this before but can't recall particulars. Colorado, Alaska, Virginia...? I want to know more. I demand to know more! :rofl:

He's doing the Teddy Roosevelt! I can't remember the last time conservationists had good news like this!

TWO MILLION additional acres of wilderness areas!

:party: :applause:

Dance and sing!

A very good part of this is that it was bi-partisan, if I remember correctly. Rock and roll!

Thanks for posting, NYC_ SKP! "The operative word for wilderness preservation is 'undisturbed'."

YES, indeed it is! :hi:
