Unfortunately, even the 2001 Roadless Rule is not nearly protective enough. It contains numerous loopholes that allow some road-building, logging, and other industrial development under certain circumstances.

When I posted this six months ago I was in a bad place mentally brought on by overwork and dealing with some absolute bullshit at work. In the meantime I rehiked the Long Trail and feel a lot better even though the situation at work can be depressing and infuriating. #hiking
