Kettle Crest up for Wilderness Designation...BAD

Many of you probably already know but the Kettle Crest area in Northeast WA is being considered for Wilderness designation.  Write Senator Maria Cantwell and let her know you think this is a bad idea.  People don't seem to understand that we're great land stewards and we don't leave a negative impact on the areas we use.  We're better for the land and create less of an impact than, dare I say, any other user group!!!

I want to get to this area, it looks awesome, look for a trip to be scheduled next summer!
