I just looked the pinecone forest map, ABPF_42x50_080716.pdf It took a while to sort out the legend, but what I think it shows is: - the ABPF is outlined in dashes, which includes the visitor center, picnic areas, even a radio station (KIBS-FM) - the wilderness area, outlined in black...

Here's the wilderness designation proposal that I found. http://friendsoftheinyo.org/web-content/pages/projects/wilderness_proposals/wildernessareas/whitemtnsadd.html As said, I don't know how close the final legislation is to this. Rep McKeon claims there was extensive local consultation, so...

Have you looked at the details of any of the wilderness designations? The proposal for the White Mountains (east of the Sierras) kept the main access road to the bristlecone pines open, and allowed for OHV travel on 'cherry stem tracks/roads'. I don't know if that carried through to the final...

I couldn't make out from the picture how they managed to drive this wheel, but the link describes it - a dual idler sprocket at the suspension pivot point on the other side. So one chain to the pivot, and other from the pivot to the wheel. Years ago I experimented with a suspension on a...

I've read the Koreans are about the only ones who like metal chop sticks. Korean stores sell gift boxes of long spoons and chop sticks, evidently intended as wedding gifts. Those sticks are practically stilettos. Various companies make folding or retracting chop sticks. Snow Peak, for...
