I suppose.  There is a lot of collected wisdom in those posts.  Still, I am 
having trouble with all this.

If the sense of wilderness is to be found in our heads, then what is the 
importance of protecting view sheds?  If a sense of wilderness is to be 
found in our heads, whats the problem with advertising in shelters?  If the 
sense of wilderness is to be found in our heads, why not construct bigger 
and better facilities to camp in?  Or expand the system of White Mountain 
Huts so even more people can enjoy the wilderness? Why not thow parties in 
the 100 mile wilderness (so called), or even on the top of Kahtahin for 
kindred spirits that come  by?
