Read it and weep. This is a Bill just introduced in Congress to make the Clinton Roadless Rule into LAW
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=s111-1738

S. 1738: A bill to provide lasting protection for inventoried roadless areas within the National Forest System.


The abridged version:

7) while roadless areas may have many wilderness-like attributes, unlike wilderness areas, the use of mechanized means of travel is allowed in many roadless areas; [not all]

(E) primitive, semiprimitive nonmotorized, and semiprimitive motorized [motorized] classes of dispersed recreation;

(6) roadless areas provide unparalleled opportunities for hiking, camping, picnicking, wildlife viewing, hunting, fishing, cross-country skiing, canoeing, mountain-biking, and similar activities; [humm, seem to have forgotten something]
