Hello out there:
What are the exception on the Wilderness Act?  In Southern Ca. we had an 
incident were a mountain biker was killed by a mountain lion the Whiting 
Wilderness Ranch. Nothing has been said about the use of mountain bikes except it was 
closed for a short period of time, it is now full blast with mountain bikes. 
Incidentally the manufactures of mountain bikes are big lobbyist in Washington, 
DC. I don't know about lobbyist for pulling carts. Because it is a Wilderness 
dogs are not allowed.  Is  there a double standard

vehicles, motorized equipment or motorboats, no landing of aircraft, no other 
form of mechanical transport.."  The question becomes how is this interpreted 
by the forest service?  Does this prohibit a cart? The 
wilderness regulations page for Snoqualmie says:
