Brian, please calm down. First, I'd welcome a rebuttal from Singletrack Advocates, as I'm sure my editor would. Interesting how that would be a "rebuttal," but mine was a "hit piece." Little biased are you? 

Second, I'm not "strongly anti-development." You seem to have gleaned that impression from several articles I've written about specific trails (not all trails) and a specific road project (not all highways). "... or anything else"? That's a bit hyperbolic, don't you think?

You're not going to see any bears on Google Earth. If you knew what I know, and you were a professional wildlife biologist with a responsibility to inform the public on human-wildlife risks, you'd have the same concerns that I have.
